Good advice, particularly if you are hunting stocked pheasant. You sometimes have to almost step on them, or stop for a long while before they'll flush.
Not sure if you were refering that I am hunting stocked pheasants. I never have and never will. All of ours are wild. Hunting in CRP grass, milow stock, corn stock. Somedays they just set tighter than others. If the birds are sitting tight you walk right over them.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Here in Massachusetts all we have are stocked pheasant. This is the first time I've ever hunted stocked. I hate hunting stocked, but love working the dogs so I do it. I've found that they generally sit much tighter than wild. That's what I meant. You have to stop a little longer if you don't have a dog. Usually their fine when they flush. Today, however, I had two flush and tree right in front of me. I had to throw sticks at them to get them to take off.
