Good ole days of Wa. pheasant hunting

[Hilltop123]

I finally found some old pictures of my folks.  There was a time in this state, when pheasants were plentiful and not raised in pens.

I can remember amazing bird hunting back in the late 70s early 80s........its all we did.  I had a yellow male and a black female......the male could find a rooster in a Safeway parking lot, or so it seemed....   SOme of the best times of my life.

  cool pics, I moved to MosesLake in 1954 had a shotgun in 1958, a Winchester #37 .410, I still own.
There were lots of birds, killed a limit before geting on the schoolbus many times. When I was 12 "guided" hunters from the coast. We had  Weimeriener(spelling) that was killer. I REALLY miss those days.

That must have been one damn busy little spaniel.

Brings back memories of the Yak Res in the 70s when I started. Thanks for sharing.

Look at the cover in the pictures. There's more there within eyeshot than in a whole county these days.

Really cool pictures, I wish we had hunting close to that these days. I know I started hunting to late to see those days but man cool pictures to see no matter what. Thanks for posting those up for the rest of us

those were some good days.  Were the pictures mirror flipped when taken or during scanning?

As Boy growing up in Benton County I found my passion for hunting. I bet I walked 100's of miles chasing roosters. I cant remember once sleeping in when bird season was open. At 16 I got my first lab and we were buddies to the end. Priceless times!!
