Hello boys and girls, welcome to Uncle Sig_Mech’s pre-season Pheasant Phorcast for early 2020/2021. I recently returned from my annual pre-season scouting trip to NE Colorado or as I like to call it: My Shaking Hands and Checking Lands World Tour 2020. Pay attention now ‘cause I’m gonna give...

Took a run out to eastern Colorado this past Saturday to scout some of my favorite areas and things look good. A lot of CRP was lost due to Farm Bill requirements but with the help of the PF C4C program some of this loss has been offset. There was a ton of corn still standing so hunting the...

Pheasant season may be over but there is plenty of fun still to be had. The South Metro Chapter of Pheasants Forever is holding its annual banquet on Saturday, March 9th and you are invited. This is a great opportunity for all of you pheasant hunters to have a great meal, meet and mingle with...

…..some have it all and the rest ain’t got any. Bonus points to you if you know what artist did this song without Googling it. Up early this past Wednesday (12/12) and heading out to Y Town again. Stuck in traffic on 225 again, when will I learn? There’s a good chill in the air and a nice...

Hello shot gunners and dog runners, just a reminder as we get closer to Opening Day here in Colorado: If you haven't already done so, please call or go online to get your HIP number and write it on your small game license in the appropriate spot. This seemingly small and insignificant thing...

Howdy shot gunners and dog runners. Just got back from a scouting and reacquaintance trip to NE Colorado and I got to tell you that things are looking good. There is a ton of corn still standing and if it doesn't get cut in the next two weeks then the birds are going to be hard to come by. The...

Anybody heading out to Yuma area this Thursday?

January 30th, 2017. That was my last hunting day for the 16-17 pheasant season. Early morning saw the three of us, me, my new girl Betty (my new Barretta semi-auto) and my 10yr old black lab Oakley driving east on I-70. I had a cup of strong coffee in one hand, a bean & laxative burrito in the...

Hey gent's (and ladies too), I'm just trying to get an idea of what all you bird doggers are using to save you buddies feet from stickers. I've been hunting these parts for a bunch of years now and it seems that every year those dang goat heads and sand burrs get bigger and tougher. I've tried...

Merry Christmas to all. I opened my present on the 27th. Woke up early, loaded up my lab Oakley and all my gear, picked up my buddy Rich and his shorthair Sage and high-tailed it out to Yuma area. I just wish that the Byers General Store opened earlier for coffee and burritos. (Come to think of...
