Do you guys think pheasants get tougher as the season progresses? I mean, do you think there plummage gets thicker? It just seems like they are harder to take down later in the year. I saw a bird get hit twice this past week, did summer-salts in mid air, hit the ground running, was shot...

Check out this article from the post. http://www.denverpost.com/huntfish/ci_13811465 Starting next season, you won't be required to purchase a walk in stamp. The article says they want to get more kids involved, and eliminating the walk in access fees will do that. I don't like the...

Do you guys ever give gifts to landowners that allow you to hunt their property? What is a good gift (other than a bottle of alcohol)? I'd like to give guys a little something every now and then, but don't have any good ideas. Last year we gave a couple guys gift cards to Home Depot.

I have a Brittany, and he needs to get groomed. I'm getting tired of taking him to the groomer and spending $40 each time he goes. Do any of you groom your own dogs? I borrowed my buddies clippers one time and did it myself. My dog looked good but the clippers were so bad, it took way too...

Anyone know what's going on with the harvest? I heard that most of the corn will probably still be standing opening weekend (that's the word from Holyoke anyhow). Anyone else have an update?

So I was thinking of a great way to raise money for your favorite upland bird (or any game animal for that matter). Each of you would designate a dollar figure that you are willing to donate for every bird shot during the course of the season. So, if said I would donate $10/pheasant and I shot...

Hey guys. I was interested in taking a couple of my younger cousins out pheasant hunting this year and thought there was a youth season that preceded opening season. I just checked the regulations brochure and didn't see anything. Am I not thinking straight or has there been youth seasons in...

I just received a seed shipment from Pheasants Forever. I am pumped! We are attempting our first habitat improvement project. We don't have many birds in the area, and are hoping this helps out. Nebraska PF has a great website with an unbelievable seed catalog. It has tons of different...

So what projects is everyone working on here in Colorado? Are there any good habitat improvement stories to talk about? I'm trying ot figure out what to do with my uncle's property here along the front range. My cousin and I are going to try and transform it into a upland bird's Disneyland...

Hey Guys, I'm going to get started on my first habitat project. I live along the northern front range in Colorado. My uncle has some land outside of Hygiene, CO and we're going to try and improve the habitat. It currently doesn't hold any upland birds, but we thougth we'd give it a try. If...

Is anyone going to the Pheasants Forever banquet this weekend? It's Saturday night at the ranch (I-25 and Hwy 34). I'm planning on going. It will be my first banquet. Let me know if your going...we'll have a cold one! :cheers:

Well, I must say; Monday was an amazing day. Me and one of my buddies were able to make it out for the final day of the season and had a blast. The day started a little late and we didn't start hunting until after 8. Right away a hen jumped up in front of me, and then two roosters further...

Does anyone know where I can find a blaze orange flexfit hat? They sure are comfortable, but I can't find one in blaze orange. For that matter, is there a company out there that makes flexfit hats in different camo patterns? They sure beat the adjustable strap on the back. Maybe PF would...

Well I was out this past weekend and was just getting ready to hunt a pivot corner with beautiful swichgrass and planted shelterbelts. My cousin had dropped three of us off and was going to take the truck to the other side and block. We always stop short of the area we're going to hunt in...

Man, I hope this sub-zero weather wasn't too hard on the birds. Has anyone been out or heard any reports from out east?

Well fellas, I'm left with a difficult decision. I was supposed to be making my first ever trip to Kansas this weekend, but as usual, a few of my buddies are flaking out on me. :mad: There are still three of us ready and willing, but now we are trying to decide if we should make the trip, or...

Well, I took my uncle and his 13 year old son hunting with me and some of my friends yesterday. He had only been pheasant hunting once and they didn't see a thing. Well after seeing close to 60 birds, I can tell you he's hooked! He didn't bag anything, but I don't think he cared. My uncle...

I was out with my dog yesterday and it seemed like he was going on point an awful lot only to find no bird. The wind was really whipping and we were hunting into it most of the day. Do you think the wind had a lot to do with it? Could it be he kept picking up on birds that were running on us...

Well, how has everyone been making out lately? How are the crops coming? I was unable to get out this past weekend, but am going to get back in the saddle on Sunday.

Well, how was everyones's experience opening weekend? Was the hunting tough since much of the corn was still standing? What kind of cover was most productive? I hope someone had some luck. I was unable to get out there this weekend, but am going to go tomorrow or this coming weekend.
