Honey will do that sometimes if she has been stalking through the thicker stuff for awhile and, I assume, she knows the bird is just further up and wants to catch up faster without fear of bumping the bird. The other thing she'll do, which is similar, is if she is working a bird slowly cross...

Public land hunt. Our group of 3 got out limit yesterday in SW MN. I may have taken 5 of those. Saw more that we couldn't get shots at. Started cold and wet, ended with nice weather. Cold this morning. Mid-30s and breezy.

Good thing I removed it before you looked!

I removed the pin (after I went there yesterday and this morning and shot my limit).

This!

They can't shoot quills, so sounds like AI. They flip their tail and the quills pull out of the porcupine, since there are barbs on the ends. Or a dog bits at them and gets a mouthful/faceful.

Man, the private land birds, that you didn't address, sure are a weird breed. Smart enough to stay out of the ditches, but dumb as rocks when hunted on their private home range.

Those roosters are responsible for a lot of shine on some heads (not that I would know anything about that).

Is that public pheasants or private pheasants? Just want to be clear here on what subspecies of bird we are talking about. In other words, smart and evasive, or dumb and tame?

Pretentious absolutely doesn't fit. That would be the fancy boy break action guns *some* people use. Not showy either. Cheap is certainly debatable, and subjective, although one jibe did claim that the sight was more expensive than the gun, so there is that. Function over form would probably...

Width and weight would probably be more germane to roadscholar's jab. Lol

For what it is worth, AI says this is a myth and can problems with the quill splintering and pieces being left behind.

Looks like the sizes are still above average?

Another one! Coming out of the woodwork!

Uh huh. Just thinking of all you schlubs out there with guns that shoot other than where you are pointing, warms my heart.

That's really interesting. If anyone can confirm this, that would be really good info for us all to have.

Cool weather is so much nicer for the dogs. Congratulations!

Exactly my point! And don't take what I said as directed at you. It was meant for all to enjoy, and not meant in a mean spirited way. We all like to joke and rib on here. There is a whole recent thread mocking my gun set-up!

Can't underestimate the value of nice tails.

Variety is the spice of life. Good to see new places out in nature and find new places birds hang out.
