I am fairly new to bird hunting. Wich makes it a little tough training my GSP. I guess you could say we are learning together. Anyway I have had her out in training with planted chucker, pigeon, and pheasent hens several times. I usualy use the Cooke Canyon hunt club in WA. I am going to be moving to a harder feild next time where they plant birds ahead of time and you have your own 80 acres. I had been going out on 40 acres and dizzying about 5 at a time and planting them then putting her in the general area and letting her find them.

Ok here is my question... how to pheasent roosters differ from hens as far as hunting them goes. I have heard that are more likely to flush when a dog approaches instead of letting them get a god long point ect. Also is that true that they can be much more aggressive? I havn't hunted roosters and my dog hasn't been a round them. Would you recomend hobbling one first and letting her get on it so it can't run just walk and fly and let her find a few before going out and hunting them?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
