OK, making opening weekend would be tough for me. How long does the season last?

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living

  I highly recommend any type of upland bird hunting, especially if you have a good dog along for the hunt. Its the adventure we look forward to every time out.


BeltFed, I'm using a Beretta 12ga for pheasant. 

  This will be second time only chasing tail in SD and the public access areas are absolutely huge !


Nice of you to post your pics.  You did well and the dog is just as happy as you are.

What kind of dog is that in the crate ?  I am fortunate to also live in ND, we have

pheasants and grouse.  I've only been out a few times.  On my own land, I can

exercise my Brittany, and even get a few chances.

You Texas guys just have a single long day drive up to SD, for the best Pheasant hunting

in the world.  Get busy, and plan a trip ! Excellent

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

Just think of setters as more blockish in the snout and head. Spaniel's in general are more narrow and oblong in the snout
They call me "Boots"
375H&H Mag: Yeah, it kills stuff "extra dead"

343 we will never forget
