A couple things to remember...know your terrain and weather. Last couple years on opening day it's been hot. So pants and a tshirt, with a vest.

Always wear eye protection, it's saved my bacon a few times and the other guys I hunt with. Assume you will get peppered, and realize that blockers/walkers don't always have control of their shot patterns. Pellets do collide and go off course. I always wear layers. Underarmor is my preferred gear. I've worn it since 97 under my football gear and swear by it.

Last but not least, SOCKS!!! Get a good pair of socks, your feet will thank you for it.

I wear a shotgun ammo belt for hot days (+15F) for faster reloads. A lot also depends on the dog situation. If I have my dog with me, I wear my dog vest.

I'll see if I can remember to make a video how to clean a pheasant next time I go. there are plenty of ways, but I like my way![Tooth]

Nice. One more question. Im making a plug for my shotgun. Is it 2+1 or 3+1? Thanks.

It is three plus one.

Wrong.

While hunting any game bird in Colorado with the exception of Snow geese, the limit is 2 shotgun shells in the magazine tube and 1 in the chamber.

It will cost you $70 if you get checked by a game warden and you have to many shells in or dont have a plug.

2+1 for pheasant.

Cool. Thats what i made my plug for. Im about set. Just have to figure out what ammo to use.

get a 2-holer, that plug problem goes away...
