Was just up in Axtell yesterday (for a family christmas) and they're saying the pheasant hunting it is very poor up there due to the ice storm last winter and floods in spring.
Spent 2 days in Axtell sense it was close by home we figured we to would give it a try. Had some decent luck last year, but the luck wasn't there this year, had a couple wild flushes, no birds in the bag. Did see a few covey of quail..good luck
