Finally went Pheasant hunting

[burtle]

First time I\'ve ever been. I had a blast! Shot this guy two hours into the hunt. Private ground with no dogs.

The taxidermist will have him done in about 7 months



Anyone else Pheasant hunt? I plan on going to Kansas city, MO in March on ranch to hunt them.

Nice!!!!!!! I love pheasants, they are such beautiful birds.
Very tasty too :upthumb:

I\'ve been told to cube it up and fry it!

I may try that

You\'re now ruined ...

Wild pheasants exploding underfoot are right up there with elk bugling! Not many 2 pound birds can say that!

Beautiful bird! Pheasant hunting is a blast. And cubing them up and frying them is a great way to go :upthumb:

i\'m tainted.

i went with an older japanese guy and a younger guy..my coworker. they brought their German short hair pointers.

i met them next to this big Budweiser bottling plant. oh o. it was a farm hunt!! i had no idea. the dogs had fun, and so did my friends. they couldnt shoot at all. i bet they miss the sides of a barn from the inside. big fat, slow rising birds. i swear, one dog caught one. a bird would flush..

okay..fly up. and BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM...six misses. i would have time to ask, \"you guys done?\" then bam. i kill the bird. which was good since it allowed the bird to get further away so i didnt obliterate them with shot.

what was fun, was after the hunt. my friends ate lunch and i went all around the field grid and cleaned up all the missed birds. which were much much more nervous and flew much faster. one dog loved me...

i would love to chase some wild birds. some day. my bird bucket list are bobwhites, chukkar..and wild pheasant. (no need to mention the turkey subspecies) running around Alaska shooting a .22 at sooty grouse would rock too!!

^ at least you had a good time!

I\'m going on a ranch in March to hunt them. I\'m not sure how I\'ll like working with the dogs. I had a lot of fun just walking through the CRP by myself. With a dog it\'s going to be different I know that much.

The dogs are my favorite part. They are amazing to watch.

Yeah, good dogs are a ton of fun to watch! Bad ones, on the other hand, can ruin a hunt. Hope you get some decent dogs. If so, you\'ll probably see a heck of a lot more birds than you did just walking the fields on your own :upthumb:

I learned early I do not have the mental fortitude to train a gun dog. A retriever, yes. Gun dog. I would fail.
