I have hunted and shot pheasant plenty in the past (with limited success) but have never owned my own dog. This year I started looking for my first hunting dog. I was originally looking at pointers. French brittanys mainly. But I changed my mind considering I hunt more rabbit every year than pheasant. So I bought a beagle HOPING I could train him to find birds. Well, yesterday was his first day in the field to look for pheasant. He did great!!! I filled my limit (2 birds here in PA) within the first hour. One hen, and one rooster. After my limit was full I put the shotgun back in the truck and continued to run the dog. All in all he flushed 6 pheasants in 3 hours.
I couldnt be more proud of him, he activly searched for these birds and was able to outrun them to get them to flush. He worked inside of 40 yards all day long and never once ran off game.
