We are very excited to welcome you back for the 2025-2026 Pheasant Hunting Season. We have been busy over the Spring/Summer with many dog events, chukar hunts and prepping and priming the Club for your return.
Please note that the Club hours of operation and services will shift to our “Hunting Season” schedule, beginning this Saturday, September 20th:
- Club Hours: With the official start of the Pheasant Season, Saturday, September 20, 2025, the Club will be open Wednesday to Sunday, 7:00am to 4:30pm. Field hours are 7:30am to 4:00pm. The Club remains closed to all activity on Mondays and Tuesdays.
- Coffee Shop: This Season, the coffee shop will serve coffee and pastries in the mornings. Also, for the present, the coffee shop will not be open for a full breakfast or lunch.
Like many businesses, we are finding it very challenging to hire new staff. Should you know of anyone who might be interested in working at the Club, please feel free to have them call the Club Office at (707) 678-3325 to discuss our job opportunities.
Update – Ammunition Sales in California
You may have read recently in the news that on July 24th the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals struck down California’s requirement for background checks for the sales of ammunition. But changes aren’t happening just yet. Citing “a number of procedural steps that must take place”, the California Department of Justice notified gun and ammunition dealers days after the court ruling that background check requirements must remain in effect until further notice.
This isn’t the first time the 2016 law has been held in a state of limbo: In 2020 a federal judge also struck down the legislation, only for the state to successfully appeal the decision afterward. Last week’s court decision follows a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court Ruling that expanded some gun rights and limited state and local governments’ abilities to regulate guns.
Irrespective of our personal feelings around ammunition background checks, the Club is still required by law to perform a background check when selling ammunition to its customers. We will continue to follow the law and hope for a permanent change in the near future.

Established for the 1968-1969 hunting season, Hastings Island Hunting Preserve is a State licensed, Zone B, pheasant club located 70 miles east of San Francisco and 35 miles southwest of Sacramento. Nestled in California’s Sacramento / San Joaquin Delta on Hastings Island, this private ranch contains an expansive 4,700 acres, with over 800 acres dedicated solely to prime upland bird cover. The balance of this family farming operation is occupied by The Hastings Island Land Company, which provides a rich habitat of Delta irrigated alfalfa, corn, wheat and safflower.
Hastings Island is surrounded by river on all sides, providing you with a variety of hunting, fishing and outdoor recreational opportunities. 
There are activities to keep you and your family busy throughout the year. We have dog training, fishing, trapshooting, and picnicking available to our members and their families. During the spring and summer, several local dog clubs host field events.
Hunter Safety Courses, along with introductory orientation sessions are offered to familiarize new members to the Club. We encourage and enjoy family participation which support our Junior hunters, by offering activities and safety classes. Our personable and seasoned staff are dedicated to insuring your success.
