    Default CREP Pheasant

    Got out here late last night. We hunted hard today, hit four different fields and walked about 8 miles total. Great weather for hunting about 20-30 all day, it snowed about 1-2 inches Monday AM.

    Killed my first two out of our first field we got to. My dog Callie has never been pheasant hunting but she is a great upland dog so I hoped she would catch on quick which she did. Starting the day I couldn’t get her off the field mice and she was fascinated with catching them. She finally figured it out after flushing the first bird what we were here for. Birds were holding very tight with the snow, she flushed it right in front of me, startled me, shot it at about 20 yards. My first SD pheasant. Very proud of the dog work and the training that has gone into it.

    Second bird: continued hunting for another hour or so, flushed two hens along the way. Callie is starting to put it all together. Got that look back from her like why aren’t you pulling the trigger. She gets birdy about halfway back to the truck, and stops. Make my way up to her, send her into the reeds she stopped at, bird flushed as soon as she hits the thick cover, stretched the range but dropped it on the second shot.

    Hit our second field, it was covered up in birds. Right off the bat, Callie and my friends dog both flushed my third bird within 100yards of the truck, long shot, hit it on the second shot. Done for the day. After the shot we watched at least ten birds fly from the area and fly to private nearby. Continued to push on through the field. My friend hits his first one, hits a second one, not hard and we ended up losing it. At this point his young GSP is very birdy and highstrung and decides she wants to do her own thing. Makes her way about 100 yards in front of us and scares every bird out of the whole field. She has done awesome all day so I can’t hold it against her, just a young dog with too much energy. Counted at least 8 roosters and a handful of hens that flushed. Continued on through the field but birds were long gone.

    End of the day, we should have had two limits, couldn’t ask for better out of the two dogs though. Overall, a blast of a first day. Couldn’t ask for better weather and birds. Three more days out in this beautiful country.

    Go eat at Als oasis; it’s a mandatory thing for pheasant hunters hunting near the Missouri River

    Scoop those field mice up and bop them on the head
    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    Nice. 1100 or 1187?

    Is that 1100 a 20 gauge or 12? Headed to Kansas for duck and pheasant in a week. I want to take my 20 1100 to pheasant hunt because it is lighter than my 12. I am wondering if the 20 gauge will get the job done. I figure it will in close range.
