Hey everyone,
Let me start by saying that I am new here and new (brand new) to pheasant hunting. I have been doing research for a while now and know that there are not a ton of birds where I am at (Fort Collins). There is not very much information at all for starting out and I do not have a family that hunts. I was going to head out last year but decided I did not know what to do, and was discouraged by the lack of area around me. I did go one a couple of dove hunts but it did not produce much.
With all that being said, I know that hunting is one of those very secretive hobbies, which I can respect. I am just looking for any way that I can get into it. I have looked up many of the walk in areas and swa's around the eastern part of the state. A few SWA list pheasant but when I look at the map I am not sure they would even hold birds, not to mention I am sure they are very crowded. Anyways, again I just don't know. Any help on how I can get started in a hobby I am really excited about would be great! Feel free to send a PM if you do not want what you said to be visible to everyone on the internet these days haha.
Thanks for everyones time and attention and Happy Pheasant season.
