Pheasant Pictures


Recommended Posts

Here's a pic from our north central SD trip two weekends ago. Lindy Rig and I again with two other guys. What was forecast to be a COLD trip (6* high with 15-25mpg winds every day) actually turned out to be some of the best weather a guy could ask for. Friday and Saturday turned out to be sunny and the temps warmed up to around 15-20* with very little wind. This is a picture from Friday when we limited out for 4 guys.....it was a great day of hunting and pushing cat tails.

Beau (buddies dog), Lindy's dog Star, and my dog Dex:

Here is a pic from today (12/21) in West-Central MN. Chasing roosters in the snow with my brother and a buddy, one of the highlights was the first rooster ever for my friend! He made a great crossing shot on the bird, after my brother and I wiffed crazy Took the dog awhile to find it, but eventually the rooster came tearing out of a clump of weeds, running for its life, and she ran it down like a champ. Awesome day of hunting in the snow.

I wasn't that far south and west...we were mainly in Mcleod and Meeker Counties. The roosters were very skittish, we really had to work to find birds that would get up in range for us. We shot well, and the roosters that did get up in range all went down. The snow is really helpful for tracking, especially since the last snowfall was only been 2 days ago, it's easy to see where they have been lately. Most of the birds were in cattails, or the thickest cover you could find. One came out of corn we were lucky enough to gain permission to hunt. We saw a total of 10 roosters, and probably 30 hens. Good luck!

Here's 1 of 5 roosters we shot in Montana in between the morning/evening Muley hunt. Just got done hunting this weekend for the last MN hunt of the year(-18 yesterday when we started)...lots of work in the arctic conditions for two birds, but it was worth it(I'm sure the dogs are ready for a warm corner inside, after bustin' cat-tails all weekend)!
