You may be the huntingest guy here. Congrats. Those are beautiful birds. I hunted pheasants in Illinois in the 1950's. Lot of cornfields in my area then. But, I well remember, one day, I went to my favorite cornfield to hunt and it was gone. Replaced by black mud and yellow bulldozers.

Congratulations on your pheasants and thanks for sharing your hunts with us. Dan.

It's a rich man's sport here.
There are small friends and family shoots but any large shoot and it's thousand to join.

Not for the likes of me, I just control vermin best I can to make for a kinder habitat for any overspill.

Over here I think there's only 1 or 2 places that breed them for shooting,so unfortunately there's zero chance for spill over. I did look into it once and it worked out to $70, per bird to shoot them,which apparently ( according to my poultry loving fiancé) isn't a bad price as thats what you'd pay for a live bird. Still a bit out of my range,but maybe one I'll afford it. For now,I'll have to content myself with ravens and feral pigeons

Man, you are nailing em this month. 3 pheasants is a good day with any gun. Especially without a dog. Work has got me lately. They save our stuff with long drives for the wintertime and pay us for the drive time so we don't lose hours during the slow season, and we just dont have the daylight left for anything else. Looking at pictures and reading you guys' stories in the evening is what is getting me through... i need you to get out there this weekend and do something because i know i won't be.

...I went squirrel hunting first thing.

Got six in the end.

Most people go for a head shot on squirrels!!!

Brits...you ARE the hunter's hunter! You put in the time and have the skills to make it happen the hard way. Congrats on a couple great days of hunting.
