Greeting everyone, After about a year of watching this site as a guest I decided to join in on the fun. I am from SW MI and grew up on a farm chasing ringnecks with the farm dog. When the bird population went through a major decline in the late 70s I switch to big game and waterfowl. About 6 years ago a friend invited me to SD for a week of pheasnt hunting and I was bitten by the pheasnt bug again. I now try to make at least one trip to SD annually with my lab that serves as a combination duck/pheasnt dog. A major upgrade from hunting behind a collie in my early days. Here's to a great nesting season.

Welcome. MI folk seem to be joining in droves. Nice.
I can completely relate. Grew up hunting phz behind a collie myself. I also became obsessed with WTs over the past decade, due in large part to our lack of phz in MI.
That was until I got my first bird dog. Nothing compares to hunting with a dog. The local WT population love the fact that I have gotten back into bird hunting.

Welcome to UPH, I hope we see you in the discussions regularly.............Bob
Hi Captain, We hunt on Public land so there are a lot of factors that enter in. The first part of the season the local woodies makes for good hunting. After they move out it is a waiting game for the flight birds. Some days are good and others provide plenty of time to wonder where the birds went.
