When you have 2 birds for 10 miles and the count 3 in 10 miles , the number is up but you don’t have many birds. Statistics are misleading.

Nobody posts on this thread because pheasant hunting sucks especially on the eastern side of the state. I’ve hunted in Nebraska since 1971 and this year has been the absolute worst.

I hunted my 13 yr old Brittany this year and he held up fine. He did a good job finding downed birds and even caught one on his last hunt! I walk this dog unleashed every day of the year regardless of weather putting on at least 4 miles. He’s been on Science Diet J/d formula for the last 3...

This could be Tbone’s retirement hunt depending on weather for the rest of the season. I got Tbone when he was two and he has hunted 11 seasons. He did a couple of great retrieves after finding two of the birds after a lengthy search. Tbone has taken over 160 pheasants with me as well as a...

Hunted Clay county one morning saw 1 rooster and 10 hens. I expected it to be better .

I’ve offered to hunt with lone hunters on several occasions. One was a dentist stationed at Offit air force base in Nebraska. He was alone without a dog and I had a talented Springer. We saw some birds and got some shooting in. He was thrilled and I offered to hunt with him again. 15 years later...

Saw 9 birds most were out of range. One got up close and I got him. I’m 75 my dog is 13 but hunted surprisingly well.

There are birds on public land but it can be hit and miss in high pressure areas. Hunted a high pressure area and kicked up 18 birds hunting by myself with a dog and dropped several. A week later I didn’t kick up one bird!

Sorry to hear this it brings back sad memories of my previous 4 Springers all who were avid hunters,

A square mile patch can definitely handle more than one hunting party. Even a half square mile is a big area.

Need to stay clear of you!

I’m partial to Springer’s. There style of hunting makes them great pheasant dogs. I’ve got a Brittany right now that hunt’s fairly well but my best Springer hunted a little better.

I’m 73 years old and love to hunt by myself with a dog. I’ve hunted private land which I pay to access.(wild birds only) the ranch I hunt hasn’t changed a lot in the last 4 years but bird numbers are definitely down compare to the last 15 years. When you get older young can’t hunt as many hours...

Normally I would take about 30 birds a year hunting alone with a dog. The last few years have been less productive and I dropped to 9 in 2020. I‘m doing better this year. Got 13 so far. .
