QUAIL SEASON IS HERE!


We know that you have been anxiously awaiting your first visit of the season! We hope that you are as excited as we are!
We recently sent everyone the revised rules and regulations for the 2026-27 season. Please take some time to read carefully and don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.

Here are a few ways you can help us provide you and your guests with a world-class experience:
- Direct your guests to the hunting page of our website and have them watch the safety video.
- Have your guests get their hunting license prior to their visit.
- If you have inexperienced hunters in your group, please let us know in advance.
- PLEASE be on time for all activities and dinner times.
- Please notify us in advance with any dietary requirements or allergies.

Many of you are now aware of the addition of Oak Tree Landing airstrip as a landing site. This 4,360' x 75' asphalt airstrip is only 15 minutes from the club. Detailed information is available on request.

Summer Dog Training

Randy oversees the training of all of our dogs. Our professional guides spend many hours of the off season making sure all of our pups are up to Gilchrist Club standards.

SUMMER IS FAST APPROACHING!

Spring has sprung and it's time to start planning your
Summer trip to the Gilchrist Club.
There are Ichetucknee Springs trips, hog hunting, wildlife tours,
fishing, and so much more. We can host
your birthday and anniversary celebrations as well.

weekend?

Give Ashley, Jennifer Poole, or Aliyah a call to discuss details

The pontoon boat is temporarily out of service due to routine maintenance and to get the seats
reupholstered. We apologize for the inconvenience.
