Are you on a pheasant farm or on your own in the wilds?
Nice haul, BTW!

Cool Beans! There's supposed to be pheasants in MS but I've never seen one that I know of. I used to dove hunt a lot about 100 years ago. L@J

Nice haul! Years ago, while driving my truck down a road near my house, a pheasant ran out from the side of the road right in front of me and I ran over it. As I looked in my rear view mirror, I saw it continue to run to other side of the road. I ran completely over it but my 4X4 truck was high enough that nothing touched the pheasant and it continued on its way.

My biggest concern is that when I pass away, my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.

I was driving a 22 wheel dump truck off road and I had a deer run out in front of me and slip. I heard her hit the bumper and saw her roll out from under the truck in my mirror but she jumped up and ran off. When I looked at my bumper it had deer snot all over it.

We limited on pheasants again today and got a bonus Hungarian Partridge to boot.
Public land, fair chase.

Wow Hawg, that's amazing!

Going down the highway I was meeting a car and a ten point buck ran out in front of it. The car hit it and it rolled up on the hood smashing the windshield, over the top and off the back. He got up, shook his head a few times and ran off the road where he hit a barbed wire fence. Backed off and ran down the fence and then jumped over the five strand fence and disappeared into the woods. I hit a four point buck with an 80 model Ford pickup. He was chasing does. The road was built up and they all came up out of nowhere. I destroyed the grill and radiator. He kept going across a soybean field but visibly limping. I got out and looked at my truck and there was a strip of hide about six inches long and three inches wide stuck in the grill. I'm pretty sure he died later but he wasn't giving up on those does.
