"Multiples" an unofficial survey

A few years back we were hunting in ford county and we surrounded a reliable honey hole corral full of weeds and as usual it exploded. I was fortunate enough to be in the middle of it and tagged a triple. Had to walk about a 1/4 mile for the third one as I hit it in the head and he flew a ways and folded up. Pretty Awesome. Hasn't happened since:)

A couple yrs ago we were hunting geese on a snowy day and about 300 geese came in and I spotted a small bunch of specs and ended up shooting a triple on specs. That's something you don't see very often especially with specks since they never seem to show up until the snow goose conservation season starts and you can't shoot them.

When the early chicken season first started I shot a double off of a point with my Elhew EP I had at the time. Only time I've shot a chicken(s) during the early season too...

That is about as tough a thing to do as there is bird hunting in KS.
A limit of PC off of one point, and you didn't choke, like I did :thumbsup:

Hope I get another chance at it.
 
Seven or Eight years ago we were hunting around Greensburg on the second weekend. A farmer had told my brother in law the day before to feel free to hunt his weedy, unharvested milo patch. It was just wide enough for the three of us to push in one pass.

Got to the end of it and all hell breaks loose. I shot 3 roosters in 4 shots without ever moving the shotgun. They just kept raising up to where I was already pointed. Dad and bro in law each got a few out of the field as well.

Many, many doubles on quail, back when we had a huntable population around here. Several doubles on pheasants over the years as well.
 
Have shot lots of doubles but I don't recall any true triples (where they all flush at once) on pheasants. Probably the most memorable was just last season.
I'd shot a pointed single earlier in the morning on opening day. I'd moved to a different section about the time the wind kicked up. If any of ya'all were in western Kansas last year on opening day,...you know what THAT wind was like.
Anyway, I'd parked on one corner of this half section of a failed cover crop. They'd planted a quail buffer on the edges and it was sparse, but it would hold a bird. Once I reached the far corner, the field dropped off into a deep water way that held a pretty thick plum thicket. Ole Rowdy went from a birdy cuttin type gallop, to a slow creep, to a locked up point about half way down the hill. It was beautiful!
I think every bird on that section had holed up in that plum thicket to escape the driving wind. Two nice roosters flushed my way and I dropped them both clean. The rest flushed out the back side, but it was a sight to behold!
And, those two roosters were Rowdy's last birds...

On the way back around to the truck, Rowdy pointed one more in the quail buffer, but it flushed quickly, and when it hit that wind it looked like someone had fired it out of a cannon!! I emptied my shot gun and missed clean.

Not birds, but worth mentioning I guess...
2 years ago, I called in 5 coyotes and shot 4 of them with a bolt action rifle. Now, THAT was a rush!

slow stuff

My dog once flushed a rooster out of a wooded slough who only had his head sticking out of the water and then had to chase him over 50yds as he tried to swim away after the shot.:eek: He will always be known to my brother and I as the "submarine rooster".

not only are you shooting slow quail, now you tell us you are shooting water logged pheasants too

we have a hard time training out dogs to point birds in water, mostly we don't have any water. i'll bet the pressure even gets those quail moving just a little bit

most of the birds out there have the likes of boxer, brown and polosi on their side helping them out, there are a few others, actually a lot of others helping i'll bet. they probably get free gov. hand outs teaching them to run and hide
