I have seen them fight like this before. Just like chickens.

I am pretty good at marking birds. Like shooting in general, I believe if you aim small, you miss small. I tend to pick out a singular object like a cattail stalk and never break eye contact with it as I approach. My dogs beat me to the birds most often, but if they don't come up with it I...

I am headed for South Dakota and usually like to grind some of my more shot up birds into Jerky. I usually have some down time at night in the rented farm house and was thining about bringing my grinder and dehydrator with me. I'm wondering from a legality standpoint I'd be ok given the laws...

So what types of structure/terrain just scream, "There is going to be a pheasant here" to you? One of my favorites is cattle dugouts. If there are willows or other brush around it even better. I've also always had great luck on dry creek beds. Lots of times I use topo maps of my hunting...

How do you folks transport your pheasant hounds? I've got a two door insulated aluminum dog box. In the early season I do the driving and my buddy puts his two dogs in one side, and I put my two in the other. In the late season when it gets cold we stick my dog box in my buddies truck with a...
