Oh ya, "hold the line!", I seldom hunt like with more than one other person. If you are in a group like that, a guy down the line might have an opportuntiy earlier as the bird will get out to shooting range sooner for him, he is just helping you out. Now that I have learned that party pheasant hunting is not legal in Iowa, my shooting will decline and I will be helping others get limits more often. Will still be calling them out!
Same here. It's a little uncommon for me to hunt with ONE other person, and that's usually one of my daughters. Once in a blue moon, both daughters will go along, but invariably at least 1 of them isn't interested in carrying her shotgun that day. They're mostly out there to be with Ace (& me hopefully??). I can't remember the last time I was in a group larger than 3, with one exception. My last springer Buzz died unexpectedly in December 2018, just as our favorite part of the season was beginning. Some friends had been asking for several years if I wanted to hunt with them the last weekend of the season on their annual private land mop-up mission. Since I was suddenly dogless, that year I took them up on it. 8 of us & 2 dogs shot 16 roosters in about 4-5 hours Saturday. It was better than not hunting, but I took the last Sunday of the season off. I just wasn't feelin' it.
Almost 30 years ago when I first started hunting SD, there were usually 4-7 of us make the trip, usually 3 of us had dogs. I had a nice 8 hole dog trailer with a good amount of storage and 5 guys could then fit into crew cab pickup. Lately, the November trip there maybe 2 or 3 of us, but my December and January trips have been solo the last 7 or 8 years. I'm now down to just 3 Britts still hunting and when solo there is no pressure to get a party limit. I enjoy the hunting anytime, but solo is much more rewarding.
After seeing a few episodes I don't watch the flush anymore. Nothing personal, because upland hunting is probably the hardest to capture on camera, but canned hunts don't do anything for me. Just knowing that everything about each hunt has been meticulously planned out and spoon fed is a turn-off. I've got nothing against researching and scouting, I do that myself all year. I just don't have biologists and private land owners coming out of the woodwork to give me secret spots. On top of it they hotspot areas to the extreme. I'd rather sort through wild bird hunts on youtube, yes there's some stinkers you'll skip past, but there are some real gems too, and people that hunt more the way I do.
And to top it all off, they occasionally shoot flare nares on The Flush. As mentioned before, I don't think "The Habitat Organization" dedicated to habitat for producing wild pheasants should have anything to do with hunting anything but wild pheasants.
Right?? Those are about as interesting as videos of pass shooting bluebills, buffleheads, & stuff.
Kidding. Only kidding. Love me a good bufflehead throwdown. 
See for me I like to see those different hunts. Mostly because those are usually actual public land hunts. It seems like 99% of their pheasant hunts are on pay to play places or private land.
Nice work!! Sorry my videos make you feel sea sick. I can't deny they have that effect on some.
