    Pro Tip #1: Find someone else to de-feather it for you.

    Ive been hunting pheasant for a long time.

    #1. Take clothing for warm and cold weather. It can be freezing in the morning but sweatshirt weather in the afternoon. Or your clothes can get wet.

    #2. Bring items to clean the birds if you choose to do so in the field (not back at home). Items such as freezer bags, knife, sheers, 2 gallons of bottled water to clean the birds.

    #3. Cooler to keep drinks in and if you shoot any birds a good place to keep them in once they are cleaned.

    Here's my standard list of items I always bring:

    Briar pants:


    Lightweight boots for warm weather +0F:


    Jacket:


    or vest:


    Gloves:
    warm:


    cold:


    Any blaze orange hat
    Any blaze orange beenie
    First aid kit, with tweezers and antiseptic!

    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've had a couple people point guns at me while dove hunting and pheasant hunting. People seem to lose their freakin mind when they see those birds. No clue why. So keep your eyes peeled.
