Bensink Farm is a very pleasant place to bring my grandsons to learn to hunt and get some shots, increasing their skill while maintaining their interest. Jack is most hospitable and inviting’ trying to make your day a really great adventure!

Today was the first time we tried a stocked hunt like this and WOW are we impressed! We were greeted right away by the owner Jack and all the other employees/family members were very friendly and fun to talk to. Everyone there including the other hunters were willing to chat and trade some stories and tips.

We successfully bagged 5 of the 6 Pheasants we purchased but had an opportunity on at least 9 birds in range and saw many others moving around the property out of range. There is plenty of good habitat to work and it felt just like a wild hunt does but with plenty of action. The birds were sitting tight and flushing close so there was plenty of shot opportunity. I think this is the first pheasant hunt in my life where each member of our hunting party got a bird. The birds themselves were beautiful and very healthy.

I would recommend everyone to give this a try! We will definitely be back.

Gone out twice and had a lot of fun. Did great with helping my young dog become introduced to birds. Really help jumpstart the bird hunting process.

My Dad and I hunted at Bensink farms today. We each paid for a half day hunt which included eight birds and costs $215 total. The owner offered to mark the locations of the planted birds, however, that didn’t happen. On top of that, we walked over four miles and only flushed three birds. We went through our designated area twice and covered it very thoroughly. I highly doubt that the eight birds we paid for were actually planted. If you pay for eight birds you would expect an opportunity at more than three birds, especially if you cover the area multiple times. The owner and his staff had plenty of excuses that fell short. We were very disappointed in the experience and I hope this post can be of some help to people considering hunting here. I would highly encourage you to look elsewhere.

Absolutely love this place. With pheasant population down, and lack of farmers letting hunters hunt it has become very hard to have a decent family hunt. Here you can have a great time with your family outdoors hunting pheasant, chuckers,and quail. The people that run this place are very polite and fun to talk too. If you don't like getting your hands dirty they will clean your birds for you for a very fair fee. This would be an ideal place to take a inexperienced youth to get their first bird. They have different types of terrain to offer as well.
