Located in Northern California, the Richmond Hunting Club offers access to some of the best hunting properties in Colusa, Glenn, and Butte counties. Members have enjoyed waterfowl and upland game hunting in these areas for over 50 years. We are a non-profit club managed by volunteers and board members elected by the membership. The club has no paid positions; all monies go toward leasing property, managing and upkeep of the club facilities. No reservations are needed! Don’t worry about what day you can hunt - we are open 7 days a week during the hunting season.
We are a family oriented club, and we encourage our members to bring their wives and families to all activities including our RHC Day held the end of august when we have our drawings for RV spaces. Activities at the RHC Day include a BBQ lunch, drawing for prizes, meeting new and old friends and a chance to share stories and get to know the officers and directors of the club.
The club has a drawing for "field" blind locations during the last week of July. Property managers for the different areas have maps that show the locations for the field blinds. After crops are harvested you may build a blind for waterfowl hunting. This blind is for your use, but may be used by other members when you are not present. You may also use another person’s field blind, thus increasing your opportunity to hunt other areas around the valley. Due to new farming practices, a lot of the field blinds are flooded after the harvest creating duck ponds that offer some outstanding waterfowl hunting.
In addition to the general membership, "Exclusive use" 2 and 4 man water blinds may be leased on a yearly basis. Volunteers maintain these ponds. The blinds are located in natural habitat and flooded rice fields. The person who leases it and their guest may only use them. Open water blinds are filled from a waiting list. New areas are filled by members wanting to move, followed by those on the waiting list. Two-seat water blinds may be shared by up to 4 members.
Wild pheasant populations are supplemented by the release of pen-raised pheasants on two to three weekends during the season. A junior pheasant hunt is conducted on the second weekend of the season along with a "ladies only" hunt. There is no additional charge to members and their guest for this event.
In addition, the club maintains pass shooting blinds bordering the closed zone of the Colusa National Wildlife Refuge. A daily drawing is held at 5:00AM each shoot day of the waterfowl season for these blinds. On foggy and windy days these blinds offer some great pass shooting. There is no additional charge for the use of these blinds. They are open to all members.
