Michigan’s Premier Game Bird Preserve: A Hunter’s Paradise

Discover the Excellence of Michigan’s Premier Game Bird Preserve

Welcome to Michigan Wing Shooter, the heart of Michigan’s Premier Game Bird Preserve. Here, nestled in the beautiful landscapes of Michigan, hunting enthusiasts find an unparalleled experience. Founded by the esteemed Charlie Linblade, Michigan Wing Shooter has become synonymous with top-notch game bird hunting. For over 40 years, Charlie has dedicated his life to refining the art of gun dog training and hunting preserve management.

Charlie’s legacy is deeply entrenched in the hunting community. As a breeder of English Setters and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, he ensures that every dog under his care is trained with a passion for excellence. His philosophy revolves around positive reinforcement, focusing on praise rather than punishment. This approach not only brings out the best in the dogs but also ensures a joyful and rewarding hunting experience for all.

Meet the Experts Behind Michigan Wing Shooter

Charlie Linblade’s expertise in gun dog training and hunting is unmatched. His decades-long association with the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA), Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC), and the National Rifle Association (NRA) stands testament to his dedication. Over the years, he has also been a part of the Hunting Retriever Club (HRC) and Ducks Unlimited (DU), contributing significantly to the hunting community.

Charlie’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. As a retired AKC Hunt Test Judge and Michigan Woodcock Banding Dog Judge, he has judged countless dogs, ensuring the highest standards of training. His son, Chuck Linblade, has inherited this rich legacy. Chuck, an Operations Manager at Michigan Wing Shooter, has been training dogs since he was ten. Together, the father-son duo creates an environment where both hunters and dogs flourish.
