Great post VENISONEATR
I never went on paid pheasant hunt before. After going on this one, i see more in the future.
The guides showed up around 8:00am Sunday morning to take us on our Pheasant hunt. We left the club and went about 1/2 mile down the road. One of the guides opened the back of his truck up and there they were. Pheasants, Pheasants, and more pheasants. I must admit i got pretty excited.
So the guides started loading the pheasant boxes on the Quads and off they went. We broke up into two groups. The first group was me JD,big6x6,and nugbuk. The second group was Indianahunter,Doohan,and VENISONEATR.
My group was the first to leave. nugbuk's dog got on point right away. Guess who shot first. :lol: Ya it was me. I smacked a Hen right away. 8) It didnt take long for nugs dog to be in action again. I think 6x6 smacked the next one. It was a pretty nice rooster. Then Jon smacked another rooster. So far this Dog is really doing great. Then we are coming near the end of the field and the dog goes on point again. nugbuk's turn to get one now. He smacks one and up comes another. Wow he got a great double with the birds flying left to right. We all four walked out of that field with at least two birds. At the end of the first hunt, nugbuk's dog did an AWESOME job. I did miss a real easy shot in that field but we wont talk about that.
All the guy's met back at the trucks and showed off there Pheasants. I believe we had around 23 on the first hunt killed. I thought that was great. Being that nugbuk and VENISONEATR both brought dogs we decided to switch dogs. So VENISONEATR now joined my group and nubuck joined the other for the second hunt.
We started into the field and the dog got pretty excited. There seemed to be a pheasant running around real close to us. We made are way down a little and sure enough to roosters went up. 6x6 smacked the first one and VENISONEATR shot the second one. Wow that was great. I'm just relaxing on this hunt. I want everyone to get one before me on this hunt. We went down about 50yds and the dog goes on a solid point. Okay Jon it's your turn. Well he made a great shot on a Hen. That was great. We walked about 100yds and got three birds already.
I remember VENISONEATR saying this was the first year for his dog hunting. You would of never known that if you would of hunted with his dog. It was AWESOME as well. So it's my turn and it didnt take long for the dog to find me a nice rooster. It went up and i took care of it pretty quick. The rain started moving in and it was getting harder on the dogs to scent the birds. On this hunt we shot 10 of the birds and left two behind. I think we were all getting tired and ready to pack up and head back to the Trucks.
We get back and Indiana hunter starts bragging about his long shot on a Pheasant. :lol: And we all start showing off our birds on my truck. We all now start heading back to the lodge. The guides took all the pheasants back and cleaned them and packaged them for us to take home. Boy that was really nice. I believe we all took 6 Pheasants home each. I thought that was great. What a great hunt with a great bunch of guy's.
