How's the pheasant hunting in sk?

 

[davidtodd]

Canb't say from experience because as a non resident I have to have a guide and I doon't even know if they have such a thing for pheasants inn Saskatchewan!
I can tell you that the people I know that live there have great success on them.
I'll check and find out the legalities for you!

ok thanks. I've done well on sharp tails, and Huns, in sk. The goose hunting is phenomenal. They also have wild turkey.

I checked their regs and could not find a non resident season

 

[Goosemaster]

They have turkey, pheasant, they have it all. I found a motel for 12 dollars Canadian a night. Great place.

Wowzers thanks for the pics those dogs look jacket for the big hunt they had!

Cool hammer gun how far will it shoot?

 

[davidtodd]

Thanks and yup those boys are permanently locked and cocked when it comes to birds!LOL
As far as my gun goes , it is an 1878 Westley Richards , the barrels were cut at one time so it is cylinder bore on both barrels but I have shot it on the 16 yard an ATA trap line on the NSSA skeet ranges before but it really shines in the field . It has the smoothest locks I have ever seen ,
I have shot geese with it as well as upland using 1 1/4 Oz of Bismuth and 95 grains of FFG and it drops our big Canada’s with authority .
I have killed roosters out to 30 yards with no issue
