Default RE: I need some advise on pheasent huntin.

ORIGINAL: whitetail4ever

I've been pheasent huntin for a couple yrs now and we don't have a dog and it seems like we ain't kicking many up.I only got 1 the whole yr last yr. Any advise how i could get my limit of pheasent?
sproule to rescue.
more hunters with you, the better.
1 person, you lose.
i hunt with my lab.
phesants can really get hard to flush/shoot after they are hunted.

but i see groups of 6 hunters get the birds all time.
i was out today, i flushed 2 birds with my dog.
they flew up at 50 yds away.
even great sproul is not good enough to get them at that range EVEN with my full choke and no.5 shot.

by yourself, only advice i can give is walk 10 steps, stand their for a few minutes, 10 more, stand,10 more stand and only hunt a small area,DONT cover a lot of territory..

remember, a bird needs 2 things,COVER/FOOD..only hunt where you find that..
if you have lots of food, find the THICKEST area with food,i mean where briars cut your face..
but remember this,GET READY TO MISS THE BIRD,but you will have fun....
