Not many pheasants left here in Colorado but headed for my yearly road trip to South Dakota. Reports are that the population is up 40+%. My chocolate lab has been giving me the eye and knows what's coming. He was not happy when I went off elk hunting and left him at home. Can't wait... ROOSTER!!!!!

Bird hunter
I live in southern Virginia, am 66 years old and my daddy gave made the nickname Blasting Bill when I was younger and we bird hunted together. Our quail population is up over previous years and I am planning a hurt to OK in December. Loved the dog pictures. I have a 12 year old, a 3 year old setter and a 9 year old Britany. I hunt everything but quail is what rocks my boat.

I am 77 going on 78 and have been bird hunting since hunting quail in Kentucky - have lived in Colorado the past 50+ years and have seen the bird population decrease. Use to hunt Sage Grouse around the Gunnison area and now they are an endangered bird. Not sure the reason for the loss. Lost my old lab a couple of years ago and now training a new yellow. Have a great year
