123fish Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Holy carp Rooster Chaser how long was the tail feather on that second bird from the left? He dwarfs the rest of those birds. Nice work. I've always wondered what those roosters think when they make it to the last day of a long season and then get dusted. Probably something like..."You have got to be kidding me!"

Walleye Guy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Some pictures of the pheasants from our recent hunt. The funny looking rooster turns out to be a hermaphrodite. There are some interesting pictures on the web if you do a google search. No spurs and funny coloration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Chaser Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Holy carp Rooster Chaser how long was the tail feather on that second bird from the left? He dwarfs the rest of those birds. Nice work. I've always wondered what those roosters think when they make it to the last day of a long season and then get dusted. Probably something like..."You have got to be kidding me!" Not Sure, cousin took that one home, did not have real long spurs though. Two crazy things from that hunt were:1)We got the birds out of a swamp that someone just walked right before us. Just had to hunt real slow, matter of fact the bird with the long feathers was one the dog caught.2)Three of the birds had shot in them from earlier in the season. When I cleaned mine there were little fleshed over pockets of feathers under the skin that had shot in the center. No wound in the flesh, just where a pellet was lodged under the skin.What you cant see in the picture is that the field behind the dog had 20 or so pheasants out feeding in it, kinda like they knew they were safe after 3 months of being chased.

FishHawk11 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I was out driving around on Friday afternoon. Decided to drive past some of the hunting spots around Paynesville. It was blowing snow like crazy, almost a white-out. Got to the last spot and counted 35 birds. Mostly hens, I actually didn't see any that were roostes. I was shocked. Thet would try to get up and fly and the wind would just blow them around. Still good to see, hope they make it through the winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Here is a pic from my early december trip to SD that I posted about. Was a great trip, right before that huge storm so walking was still easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
