    How tough are these birds?

    Saw that a few times when I was younger and hunted with my family in bigger groups. Always seem to happen on passing shots, Dad always said it was a heart shot.

    First day in Western Nebraska

    The other thing Nebraska Game and Fish refuses to acknowledge is the predator impact. They say predator control doesn’t work, then why do other states do it and have pheasants? Then they’ll tell you pheasant aren’t a native species anyway. They really could care less if Nebraska has any...

    Disappointed

    Use to stop in Sydney every trip back home to NE. Rarely if ever stop anymore. The bargain cave used to be great and that sidewalk sale someone mentioned, was it Christmas in July? Used to go to that sale every year, penny’s on the dollar for good stuff. There would be people camping out to...

    First day in Western Nebraska

    I live in Wyoming and use to hunt western and southwestern Nebraska a lot. I grew up in Nebraska and never missed opening day in 30 years. I’m not even going to Nebraska this year, waste of time. I talked with people that hunted last couple weekends with same results, no birds anywhere, just...

    Extinction Of Pheasant Hunting In Parts Of Nebraska

    I grew up in NP. Used to hunt that area a lot. My brother still lives there, he used to hunt 2-3 times a week and would typically kill over 50 roosters a year. He only went out once this year and didn’t see one pheasant. He does a lot of scouting and rarely see a bird. He’s hoping they will...

    Extinction Of Pheasant Hunting In Parts Of Nebraska

    I used to hunt Nebraska, but gave up the last couple of years cause there are no birds. Grew up in Nebraska and have been hunting there my entire life. It amazes to me the difference between Nebraska‘s game and fish and South Dakota‘s . There seems to be no effort towards conservation...

    Crispi boots fail

    Surprised, I’ve been wearing my crispi’ s almost every day for work and hunting, no issues. Love them and my feet don’t hurt at end of day. I’ve averaged 8500 steps a day for last 6 months. I think ill wear out the soles before I wear out the rest of the boot.

    Lost birds

    I recently lost a bird, thought for sure it was dead, cloud of feathers, but when I got to the spot it should be there was nothing there. The dogs couldn’t see it go down cause they were in tall cattails. we looked for quit awhile but never did locate It. Shot it on point at like 15 yards. I...

    Hard core looking for friends to hunt with.

    Well I guess I couldn’t hunt with you cause I love Elk hunting as much as I do pheasant hunting. But I’ve never done any of the things you suggest Elk hunters do. Yes it happens just like some Pheasant hunters driving around ground pounding roosters out the window. But I do agree with you on...

    Winter’s coming!

    Haven’t made it to SD yet this year, planning on heading up 26th or 27th with my Grandson over his Christmas break. Hope the roads allow us to get there, looking forward to hunting in snow.

    Nebraska not worth the trip

    I’ve been hunting Southwest NE for 35 years. Last 3 years have been the worst. Poor management by Game and fish and then the drought wiped them all out. The Nebraska Game and Fish need to go to school in South Dakota, learn how to manage habitat. Never thought I would say this cause NE is my...
