About Gowdy’s Wild Wings Bird Farm

Gowdy’s Wild Wings Bird Farm has been operating for 30 plus years.

We’re a working bird farm in Torrington, southeast Wyoming, with acres of great cover for pheasant and chukar hunting. We raise the birds ourselves, and you hunt them over your dogs or our dogs.

Hunts are morning outings from September through March, for groups and individuals, and for beginners to seasoned hunters. We can tailor your hunt to your specific needs.

You’ll see families with kids out for their first birds, buddy groups, a company crew, and plenty of folks back for another season.

Craig — everybody calls him Gowdy — talks rates and open dates over the phone, so give him a call or send an email.

Our birds

Raised on the farm

We raise pheasants and chukar for release for groups and individuals.

Here are this season’s birds, from the brooder to their first look outside, as we posted them on Facebook this summer.

In the brooder

The chukar are 10 days Old today. They’ll be ready to go in 16 weeks.

The dogs

Bring your own dogs and work them, or go out with our guides and their dogs. Four German shorthairs and a German wirehair — all pointers.

Plenty of hunters bring their own pups. Young dogs come out for their first live birds.

The farm’s dogs

  • Dax

    German wirehair. Gowdy’s Dax is “one heck of a partner in the field.”

  • Nellie

  • Ben

    German shorthair. Our hard working Ben is “always ready to find the birds!”

  • Bud

    German shorthair. One of the seasoned dogs.

  • Knox
