Nothing too fancy... have a couple of Japanese A-5s. My dad gave me his 12 and I had it restored at Art's. Found a 20 that is almost identical. Have a set of 4 Ohio Ithacas (28, 20, 16, 12). I hunt pretty much all of my pheasants with that 16. I'm a lefty and put left hand safeties on them...

This will be my first trip to South Dakota. Have hunted Kansas for many years. Shot 6s way back in the day. Have shot 5s for years. Used an IC up until about three years ago and screwed in a modified. I may prefer it. Shoot a 16 gauge.

Great band and great song.

16 gauge 5's are back in stock. Grabbed a box this morning for my first trip to SD...

Set up on some gobbling birds in the dark one morning. As daylight approached I could make out a couple of guys past my decoys across a creek. Something felt bad about it so I scooted to put a tree between us. They shot my decoys. Had I not moved I would have taken a face full of #5s.

Best wishes Jet with your dog. I know several who’ve done the surgery and was a great success.

Keep a close eye on em. Mine tore hers in June. Slight limp. She was 10 so surgery wasn’t for her. After a week or two of a slight limp she stopped eating and quickly wasted away. I’ll be paranoid about my other dogs for the rest of my life now. I could not justify cost of surgery at her...

great pics! Are these 100 percent wild hatched pheasant broods?

I'm hunting a ranch in Oklahoma that had about 10 guys hunting it back in 2003-2005. Hard to say how many birds were using the place back then. Hundred or better probably. I have had it to myself the last several years. Best I can tell is there is a group of 2 jakes and 4 hens using it right...

Oklahoma is pathetically down.....

I'm partial to shorthairs.

You can cook a bunch of the legs or thighs in the crock pot and shred the meat. Mix with favorite sauce for barbecue sandwiches. I do this with pheasant legs and wild turkey legs. The thighs are definitely better. The lower legs don't have a lot of meat once you separate from all of the tendons.

I have a Q5 San Carlos. Great vest. My only complaint is it is difficult to reach around and put a bird in the vest. No front load. I have not ordered anything from them since 2016 until the other day. I ordered two water bottles. I have a tracking number and it is in transit so maybe I...

Of course….

Hence the eye roll…. That’s the exact point I was making. Yet people still think it is because they see more of their predator of choice. Sure they get some but they’ve always been around. Of course it’s habitat. I was being a bit sarcastic.

The hawks, coons, armadillos, raccoons , etc… are the reason we don’t have birds in northeast Oklahoma anymore. It isn’t the endless seas of Bermuda and fescue. :rolleyes:

Yes I’d agree with that. Some ditches would help for sure. I was watching an old home movie from 1997 and all of the ditches were thick and weedy.

It'll be very nearly impossible without widespread habitat changes (CRP).

Yes…. Good cover like CRP getting mowed or tilled.

There are some out there. Good luck everyone. I’m staying home and bow hunting. May get after some late season.
