Pheasant Pics.


Recommended Posts

Was out Saturday in the snow---Beautiful day, heavy snow, warm, and no wind. Got in the field at 3:15 and we had 4 birds by 3:35. Kickedup 5 more roosters on the way out of the field....Can't ask for much more!

My son (almost 7) walked with us for a quick hunt this fall on a really cold windy day. Thankfully we got a couple birds quick before he froze. He is wishing he could skip 7,8, 9, 10 and 11 and simply turn 12 on his next birthday so he can hunt.

great pictures everyone

just a note jacobj12k, your son should be able to hunt small game at any age, I shot my first pheasant at the age of 11 and hunted them when I was 10, it's up to you to decide when he is ready to use a gun, having him carry an empty one for a year just to practice gun safty is a good idea.

Not sure you hunt with a dog or not, when i was growing up we didn't have a dog and my dad started me out with a bb gun. It was fun i would pull up and shoot at rabbits and squirels and even a bird or 2. I'm sure I never hit anything but a nice way to start your kids out.

Last Thursday, two on the right were down from Alaska for a late season pheasant hunt...great day with 7 birds, 1 lost under the ice and 4 rabbits. Can't believe the numbers of rabbits---anyone else seeing unusual numbers of bunnies? Can't wait for a late season rabbit hunt!!! 4 days left to chase the roosters! Hopefully have a couple more pics to post....

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
