How many seasons have you hunted Pheasants?

Hey S C Boykin, GREAT story. Thanks for sharing. Once you go you never want to stop. Have a great season and looking forward to hearing about your results.

I guess I've hunted pheasants for 24 years. I missed 18 years of pheasant hunting while attending college at SDSU and UTSA and afterwards while working in East Texas.

If my math is correct that is 42 years, wow somebody older than me, assuming your 1st year hunting was not at birth. :cheers:

Keep the stories coming boys, very enjoyable. Most of us still have a good memory of 1st hunt.

I was thinking the same thing Deacon. This has turned out to be a great thread and I'm getting to learn the names of some of our new(er) members. There are some great stories on this thread.
 
Started hunting with a 410 single shot in north central oklahoma as a kid (I'm guessing 12 or so) my dad wasn't really into hunting but he would drop myself and a friend off at the wildlife area in the morning and pick us up in the afternoon. Didn't hunt at all when I got to college and didn't pick it back up until I was 30. I've been having a blast ever since! Got myself a good lab and we wag our tails every time we get to gear up for a day afield. So long story short this will be my 5th kansas pheasant season and God willing many more to come!!
 
I'm 35 now and the first picture I have of myself in the field was at age 5 and from what I've been told I've made every SD opener since! That's 30 years of chasing the ring neck beauty! Let all hope we can do it for another 30.......
 
Great #'s on here!!!

I was 12 when I shot my first Colorado ringneck. Just turned 29 so that makes 17 strait seasons..sheesh, time flies!

I can remember the first bird like yesterday. Dad and I were walking an old RR right of way ditch (still hunt the same ditch every year for sentimental value) and he spotted a rooster runnning ahead. I got ready with the old M12 16 gauge and sure enough the bird got up and somehow I managed to pop him. I can only imagine how proud my dad was. I hope he's still around to watch my kids (If I ever have any!).

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS DAMN SEASON TO START! Consider yourselves lucky that you don't have to wait until the middle of Nov to get out. We've got tons of snow here and I'm seeing mirages of rooster tracks!!!
 
Started carrying a gun at age 10 in Pennsylvania... 2 years before I was legal. This was the mid 1970's just after PA's pheasant hunting boon.:mad:

Walked lots of miles for very few birds. Sadly, everyone from those years are gone now.

Hunted till I was 18 then went away to college and didn't pick up a shotgun again till age 30.
Living in New Jersey was not conducive to pheasant hunting.

Hunted 2 more years then put the gun away again for 4 more years. Moved a couple times in between. That brings me to 2000 when I began shooting released birds on my own property. In 2002, I began to hunt Kansas and return every year. Looks like 19 or so years all told.

I started tagging along with my dad quail hunting at the age of 5. That would have been in 1951. Carried a gun at the age of 9 and shot my first pheasant in O'Bryan Co Iowa in 1955. I haven't missed a season yet. I was in the Air Force stationed in South Korea in 1968-69. I hunted pheasants and ducks while stationed there.
