buddy of mine killed 3 birds on a rise last weekend couldnt beleive it most i have ever seen two on a rise is the best i have done i am sure guys have killed 4 how many have done it in the first hour so on so forth lets hear it
 
The week before Christmas, I came over a rise and was within 20 ft. of a plum thicket that was maybe 15 ft. in diameter . About 15 phez jumped out of it but only 3 or 4 at a time. I shoot an O/U. I dropped 2 with my 1st 2 shots, reloaded and dropped another with my next shot. 3 for 3. I was literally jumping up and down, hands over my head, hollering to my buddies.:cheers:
 
rise

Talking about quail...
I've seen my uncle kill 5 quail on a rise (twice).

The first time I didn't see him, but I watched the dog pick up all five birds.
This year I saw him shoot all the birds.

I killed 3 on a rise and then killed a fourth that got up as I was picking up dead birds.
 
About 5 years ago was hunting the second weekend on some ground a farmer had stopped us and told us we were welcome to hunt, nice guy letting random strangers hunt his uncut milo field. There were 3 of us with a pair of dogs, the field was about 100 yards wide and a quarter mile long. We walked with the wind to the end of it to push it to the road, into the wind. Nothing got up all the way through it until we got to the end, when all hell broke loose. I shot 4 times and killed 3 pheasants.

There were a couple times the second weekend this year that I could have kept shooting but the 3 of us had too many birds down and was worried about finding, or at the end on both days the birds kept getting up and we all had just finished out our limit. Those are the times that make you keep wanting to go back.
 
2 quail, 2 roosters, 2 ducks, 2 geese, and 2 turkeys.:thumbsup: I keep the magazine plug in regardless of what I'm hunting. I am not the quickest or best shot, so I try not to shoot more than twice unless a bird is crippled.
The turkeys were done with 1 shot.:D
 
I have shot 3 pheasants in 3 shots, maybe 3 times. Doubled on Quail with my 20 over and under. Last weekend ,5 Quail get up ,3 shots, 0 birds, priceless!!!!!!! If you live long enough, you will make great shots and you will be humbled by the easy ones. At the end of the day, you still got to watch your dog work and hear your gun go bang, or in my case bang, bang, bang.:)
 
Doubles Only

I've doubled on pheasant and quail.
 
5 huns killed with 3 shots in Saskatch this fall.

Best for phez is 5 harvested in a solo shootout (actually has happened twice.) But I think it took more than 5 rounds each time. Note: neither of these were over a prolonged walk or a posting situation - just positioning myself for pass shooting: it sure is fun when your dog learns exactly where the boom gun is...

I still remember my duck dog trying to bring 2 roosters back at once - to then just drop 'em halfway to go get another.

I did it once about 15 years ago...I can still remember it...got 4 on a covey rise...not late birds...the covey was in a hedgerow...when they came up...they went almost straight up and then fanned out to my left. The last bird obviously was out quite a bit...and it must have been a head shot because it feel immediately. I kinda was in a state of shock when I got my dead birds. My dad was on the other side of the hedgerow....and he asked...how many did you get? I hollered back...how many times did I shoot? He He. He muttered something. It was serial. I havent come close to that since. Probably wont either...getting a triple is amazing...the last time I did that...I was by myself...so..I didnt tell anybody. Wouldnt do any good would it?
 
Wow!

Wow! is all I can say.
 
I did shoot a mixed triple once: quail-pheasant-quail. The pheasant flushed in the middle of the covey.

back in the 70,I was hunting with a freind, when the dogs went on point. We were both shooting o/u. when the covey got up we both shot twice. the dogs made 8 retrieves. The covey had stayed in such a tight bunch that we killed 2 birds with each shot.
Hate to have this as my first post on here as I can never top it:D
 
3 on a rise a few times is my personal best.

Best story I have is I was hunting with my uncle. The dogs had been working a covey up a fence line. The birds had been running and once the dogs had them pinned, my uncle decided to cross the fence. We were still about 20 -25 yards from the dogs. I had one foot on the bottom wire and both hands on the middle wire as he crossed. The birds got up as he crossed the fence and were flying from our right to left. I let go of the middle wire and it snapped onto his back. Unfazed, He shot 3 time and dropped 3 birds. All were dead on hits, as I stood in awe. I can hear him today hollaring 'Hell's fire son' at me.

What makes this more impressive is my uncle, god rest his sole, shot a 410 pump and only had one eye. Two on the rise was the norm for him. He was the best shot I've ever hunted with.

4 ducks (on the wing - 3 shots).
1 rooster, but came damned close this year. If I was shooting my semi I'm sure I'd have dropped the second!
I also once had to pass on a second bird from an easy flushed pair because the first one limited me out. I'd have hit him - promise! lol!
