IceHawk Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Just got back from out west we ended with 5 roosters for 4 of us and i will say we worked for them! There is alot of snow in the cattails most of the birds we got came from willow thickets. Saw probably at least 75 birds with alot of them roosters. Birds are very skittish and flush ahead. A blocker is a must. Hope we dont get alot more snow as the pheasants are scratching hard for feed in the corn stubble. I am sadly done for the year good luck to all who venture out yet. As I sit here and type I cant help but smile,I look over at my lab crashed out on the couch and have to say thanks to the big man upstairs it was one of my best seasons ever and I enjoyed every day of it!

123fish Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm still going if my buddy from the metro comes down with his dog. Shot one in the cattails last Sunday by myself but not near as much fun without the pooch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123fish Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Buddy did come down and we went out for a couple of hours in the cattails. Shot four and could have had our limit if my partner would have shot a little better. A very good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmnhunter Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 heading out to SD sat morning, that area we hunt is private ground CRP with shelter belts, but reports from relatives recent and at thanksgiving is showing some tough conditions with wily roosters! we might have to mix it up and hit some WPA's that have cattails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerS Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Went out last Friday for a few hours in SE Nodak. Saw maybe 40 pheasants, of which my GWP pointed at least half. The rest were flushing wild. Oh, and ALL were hens. Don't know where the roosters were, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't darn tempted to scratch a hen just so my boy got to make a retrieve (no, I did NOT, and no I would NOT, but I'm just saying...). By the end of the day, he was pretty disgusted with how well he was working and my lack of shooting. Oh well, I'll be out Sunday and Monday again. Those stinking ditch clowns can't hide forever.

grey ghost Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I got out today and hunted for a couple of hours in the fresh snow. Ended up with the only rooster I saw. Saw about 15 hens also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otterman91105 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Nice pic. That's a nice group of birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDawg Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Got out 3 times in the last 2 weeks of the season. Got 6, 7 and 6 respectively with 3 hunters. Pretty good hunting all around.That is a testament to good habitat. Lots of hens in all of our places, so optimism is high for next year.
