I saw a great example of it last year and noticed it once this year and that is pheasants scratching to get to cattail roots. While this isn't surprising in and of itself, it was right next to a food plot. Makes me wonder if there is something specific they are getting out of the roots or if...

Fantastic find, Miforester! Great work by the pups!

I emailed the folks at Hot Hands and told them to make me a "Trigger Finger Warmer" that would be the size of my index finger and would fit perfectly and comfortably on the back of my pointer, inside the glove. They haven't gotten back to me yet. Next step is to go Karen on them and ask to...

Great synopsis of your season, remy. Time for you to pick up a SD license and come walk through some cattails!

The video of a group hunt I did a few weeks back with some Pro Pheasants members.

Here is Sand Lake on my OnX

As pheasants tend to bunch together, it is a physical reality that there are less pheasants spread around. Whereas a guy might hunt a quarter section in late October and have four or five contacts of a bird or two, those 4-10 pheasants are now likely to be in close proximity to one another...

I used to not wear orange, but finally heeded my dad's persistent advice. Like A5 said, the majority of pheasants don't see Sage and I coming, they hear us. Interesting note, we were hunting with some family a month back and waiting for people and I laid down in the cattails. My daughter came...

Yeah, it's too bad music is copyrighted and will get your account banned on YouTube, otherwise I'd love to have something not from the free music library.

Bob, you can set the tone. Like you, I really don't get excited about party hunting or pushing fields. I do love watching a dog that knows how to hunt pheasants do their thing. I love watching a dog work a property that isn't loaded with birds and there's an art to what is being done. I...

Used to. Then I had enough land to hunt that I didn't need any more and started a family, etc.

I really like it. There are times when I miss having a pickup, but it's so nice to pile in the gear.

I'm sorry to hear that, Bob. When I read the title, I thought you'd stumbled into the mother load. Instead, you ran into a different kind of mother. It blows my mind that someone would do that, especially as it seems this guy assumed that was the way it was done. Sorry you had to experience...

I did find a roost with an interestingly large amount of dropped pheasant mud on my last video. Normally, I'll see a few turd nuggets, but this particular spot had been used repeatedly. I'll try to include each mud pellet I come across in the videos going forward. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Pen reared pheasants typically wear a blinder to prevent them from pecking one another. It creates a large, visible opening in the nare (nostril) and is one of the more common methods of identifying a pheasant that was raised in captivity.

Sorry for the wind noise, but you know, South Dakota.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, this short films is worth a million. Yikes. I mean, I get that a lot of places don't let people in to use their restrooms, but wouldn't you start with an alley or behind something? Maybe stop dumping mud when you noticed a camera on you? But, as it...

I'd bet that the first rooster you bagged got pushed into that spot when you guys were working the rest of the property. Or came in from somewhere else. Your observation is correct, though. There is wisdom in doubling back. A couple years ago, I was hunting one of my favorite properties...

I will agree with that. Blows my mind that we've got not just some pheasants around, but just as many as last fall (perhaps more) after the ice storm, 80+ inches of snow, the typical wind and cold of a SD winter that combined to completely bury countless cattail sloughs. But the pheasants...

Dumping mud has become a very common term for me, as well.
