woohooo, bird season is coming.
Planning an early season hunt up in Wyoming for grouse and sharptail, very excited.
Of course this requires all new gear since I'm 2/3 of the man I used to be, which is also exciting (although expensive)
is it September yet???

Yeah! And keep an eye out for shotgun ammo. My local sources have been out of 12ga for about a year. If you see any stock up now. It won't be around on Sept 1st.
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
uhhhh, I'm pretty sure I got enough ammo for more than 1 year. Well I did anyway before the boat accident.Originally Posted by Colorado Osprey

Yeah I am definitely hunting more birds this year! Ever since I took my dog to South Dakota pheasant hunting she has been depressed which is making me depressed! I'm thinking some grouse and dove hunting is in order!
I'd love to get out hunting some time. I have a decent shotty too. Oh well, time and money. One day. Would love to see pics of the birds and dogs at work!!
Based on the title of this thread I would have to guess that the bird is the word...
Come on September 1st.

I am so ready for bird season. Loaded up some ammo this winter...
Couple buckets of 28 and 410 not pictured.
Every color is a different bird/critter or shot size.
Red = Dove and cottontail.
Green = Early season Pheasant.
Gold = late Season Pheasant and Jackrabbit.
Grey = Quail.
You know I like my coffee sweet in the morning
and I'm crazy about my tea at night
OK, upland hunter noob question: why different ammo for early pheasant and late pheasant? Did not know there was a difference.
Is that all 20 gauge?
I'm not an expert either but usually the dumb ones are the ones you take during early season. Cover is usually better and typically won't flush until you are closer. I've seen them try to hide in the middle of a dirt road hunkered down in a tire track (one of the dumb ones). I'll typically use 7 1/2 shot with a modified/IC choke during the early season. Late season, you have the survivors left and they are smart. Winter weather has reduced the amount of foliage and cover. The birds tend to run, but when they do flush, longer shots seem to be the norm. I use 3" 6 shot with a full choke in one or both of my O/U.
