A buddy and I are bird hunting in North Dakota. Success on the first day!
-
Are you on a pheasant farm or on your own in the wilds?
Nice haul, BTW!

Well Done!

Very nice! Thats great country for that...

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.

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.

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.

I'm sorry I'm late to the party on this!
You are making me so jealous Dave!! Old SXS on pheasants on public land. I miss it!! All you need to make it perfect is a good dog to shoot over.
Thanks for sharing!

My buddy's German Wirehair was quite helpful. For a rescue he didn't do bad. Especially first morning when there snow and the birds were holding TIGHT.

Hi, I'm envious. There hasn't been pheasants in my area for years. Probability due to the large coyote and fox population here. However, we do have turkeys, lots of turkeys. One day before opening season on turkey, we had six turkeys walk through our back yard. My trigger finger was just twitching, twitching, and twitching.
Wild turkey makes for great eating. The legs aren't good for much, but the white meat is so good, milder and much better tasting than farm raised turkey. )l_

Richard

Then it was definitely a perfect day!

Birds were sitting so tight the first day that Finn (the dog) actually caught a hen.

Local gun club put on a veterans hunt. Went even older school with my 14 gauge back-action percussion double.

That's awesome Dave!
