Pheasant Hunting!

[sniper7]

I went out eastern co near burlington for opening day. 4 of us got 11 birds. I limited as did my dad. The other two guys got a couple a piece. 2 good hunting dogs (my english setter and my buddies chocolate lab) and he had his new 6 month black lab.

The wind was ridiculous and caused a lot of missed shots. We should have all easily limited. Size of birds are definitely smaller than last year. The numbers are definitely down a lot this year. Cover is terrible. Plenty if food but not much water.

Ill post up pics later.

I'm headed east tonight to try to shoot some birds near Fleming. Our scout said that he saw more pheasants than he expected to on Friday, so hopefully we'll have a chance to shoot some. Don't expect to limit, but a couple sure would be nice.

Had a blast in North Dakota it was my first year hunting here and I would definitely come back.. It was supposedly horrible hunting to my buddy that comes a couple times a year but I had a blast.. Hunted 2 and a half days and shot our limit every day plus a couple grouse and I got a Hun that's getting mounted.. Cool little bird and a good story to it so I decided to get it mounted. We were going to hunt the morning but the pups foot is twice the size it should be. Got about an inch to inch and a half cactus/ thorn apple looking sticker in her foot.. Can't put much weight on it now and hunted a good 3 hours with it in her foot.. Man dogs really are mans best friend and man are they tough.. So yeah we have 2 more dogs with us but if my dog can't hunt I'm not hunting.. Just not the same.. Told my buddy he could go but I'm out tomorrow, and he understood.. I wish Colorado had as many pheasants as here.. I think I'm addicted now.. Definitely not cheap

Nice!

Wish we did as well. Friend's dog was in heat so they only brought the pup (Sugar) with zero experience.

Buddy lost one downed rooster thanks to the dog, his youngest son got a rooster and 2 hens, his oldest got a chuckar, I got one chuckar and a kill on a rooster I let the oldest claim. Sugar got better after retrieving a few and getting the scent. She actually did quite well considering.

Went again yesterday! I got 3 and my buddy claimed one that bullet got for him! He shot 3 times at a couple birds, they both flew a long ways off and landed in some CRP. We headed there, bullet got real birdy and started going quickly on his trail, next thing I know he sprints for second then jumps and punches! I thought he was after a rabbit, next thing i know a rooster starts to fly but is real low, bullet is right behind him, leaps and catches it in the air! He does a couple rolls and holds it down while my buddy ran over and grabbed it!

To be honest I think I have more fun watching the dogs work than actually hunting, well maybe not but you get what I mean. I have a 6 year old GSP that does the same, if its low enuff hes on them! Anyone up for a group pheasant hunt here in CO?
