The Knights Landing Sportsmen's Club is located in the Sutter Basin region of Northern California about 30 miles northwest of Sacramento Ca.

KLSC provides pheasant hunting opportunities during the regular DFG pheasant season. The following pages will provide you with information on how to join us in hunting pheasants in the Knights Landing area as well as information about our organization and the good work that we do.

The “Knights Landing Sportsmen’s Club , is a non profit organization that started it’s pheasant hunting program to raise money for local charities in the Knights Landing and Robbins community areas. Today its main benefactors are the Robins Community Hall, the Knights Landing Fire Dept., the Catholic Church and the Library.

Over the last 25 years our pheasant hunting club has purchased birds from pheasant farms. We work with the farms to obtain well flying birds that simulate natural birds as much as possible. We then release 1600 pheasants on approximately 18,000 acres of the River Garden Farms area of Knights landing. This area is open to a limited no. (250) of Associate members each season to insure that there are enough birds for a positive bird to hunter ratio. You will find them in the ditches and the fields much in the old school tradition. You will have to out smart them and out work them. So bring a comfortable pair of shoes, a good dog, a shot gun that’s quick and easy handlin’ and get after ‘em!

The Knights Landing Sportsmen's Club was started in 1948 when a small group of men got together who enjoyed shooting and hunting. The NRA Charter was established that year. The early meetings were held in the Scout Cabin and the Rifle Team built a rifle range at Camp 3 on the Sacramento River levee.

Some of the Founding Fathers were Jim Akin, Bruce Aseto, Bert Harris, Bill Leathers, Phil Nix, and James Easman.

The club later purchased property where the present club stands today. A small rifle range was built where the existing shop is today. The current 16 station range was built in ‘76 behind the main club meeting building.

The first pheasant program was started in November 1949. During the early years, the club bought birds and the State Fish and Game had a release program. There were 6,000 acres rented from River Garden Farms for $1000.00. Plus a partnership with Robbins Community Hall for land in Sutter Basin. The following year, 18,000 acres were obtained for the 1950 pheasant season. They also tried raising birds themselves but found this difficult with volunteer help.

Over the last 25 years the club has purchased birds from a pheasant farm. Today, we release 2000 pheasants on approximately 18,000 acres in River Garden Farms area Near Knights Landing Ca. We have also released Chuckers and Bobwhite Quail in past years.

The Pheasant Program today includes posting signs on the lands, releasing pheasants, and patrolling the hunting areas to assure the safety of our associate members and club members.

I know the area is private property, but are the roads public/county roads? Are the levey private property as well? There are a lot of placeses people can hunt along the levey with private property on both sides as long as you don't shoot on their property. Seen a lot of non members hunting on the levey.
