Pheasant hunting

Did you groundball him or did you shoot it out of the air ?

Wow.... the pheasants look fat this year, most be plenty of food around.

How long were the tail feathers???? 

Did you finally get that hog you were talking about awhile ago?

Pretty sure that's a hen.  Might wanna be careful posting pics of females when we all know you can only legally shoot roosters.


So how you gonna cook this one up?  Pheasant wrapped bacon breast?

Thanks Rowdie for the information. I know hens only produce one brood a year. I guess what surprised me was the amount of different sized pheasants this year. I hunted today and saw 20 roosters fullsized, 20-30 with some color, and about 25 minibirds. They were the size of huns.

Numbers wise i saw about the same number of birds on my land as usually. What are others seeing in the way of numbers this year?

Not sure how many birds we saw.  Walked one little coulee and shot 8 roosters.  Others flew away laughing, some flew away with no shots and others were so small they could barely get their rear end's off the ground.

Wasn't even in pheasant country.  Not sure what is to report over there but I'm guessing there is as many hunters as birds.  So I stay away.

Quit hunting around 10:30.  Might go back out to see if the girls can complete the limit.  They are a little discouraged but hey, you gotta get some field expierence before it becomes instinct.  Still fun to watch them fly and the guns go bang...but no dead bird.

Except the wind stinks.  Plus the snow makes it a we bit wet out.  Oh well, were huntin!

I am not sure what ya'll are looking at. That first picture looks like a hog layin on her back with rigermortous. Where are the roosters? I was out all morning and nevere saw one bird.

We went out most of the day and only seen a few birds. Places that usually held 20 or 30 birds have maybe one or nothing. Pheasant hunting doesn't look to good in our neck of the woods.

went out today saw about 15 birds most were hens and flew into the corn.

Was out most of the day seen a lot of birds. Not as many as normal. Birds were very jumpy. Ended up with 7 and a yote.

The second half of your sentence might explain the first half.

Birds everywhere this year.  I thought last year was great, but it may actually be better this year.  8 man limit in 2 hours.  Done by 10:15 yesterday.

WOW Ditch runner! It is amazing that someone would put a gun in your hands.

I hunted from North of Spiritwood to south of Ypsilanti and did not see one bird. I guess if I want to go hunting next year I better grow my own. Does anyone know where I can get a bulk order of some pheasant chicks for this spring?
