Solo pheasant hunting without a dog advice?
JLS:
Good for you. I did a lot of solo bird hunting in college. I managed to kill a decent number of chukars, and the occasional pheasant. It sure is a lot more fun with a dog, but sometimes you do what you gotta do. :tup:

Definitely gonna hit the westside release sites a couple times this month. I figure I can probably get a couple chances at birds.

not to be a debby downer but if hunting wild birds without a dog is tough - hunting release site birds without a dog is ten times harder. if only for the fact that wild birds will hear you coming and either run until they hit an obstacle and or flush when you get too close. pen raised pheasants are so stupid they will just sit tight and let you almost step on them before moving.
your best bet is to hook up with someone who has a dog. :twocents:

Hey mr user,
I've been going down to one of the West side release sites for the past few weeks and would be open to having you along. Last week I saw a Father and a couple of young boys out (only one boy with shotgun) but no dog. I called em over and they followed a little while until I guess they decided they'd rather follow the crowd (and yes, one can get lucky and shoot a bird the crowd misses. I think I let 2-3 fly unscathed over my head). They could easily have shot any of the other birds pointed that morning as well..................don't get me wrong, I still enjoying shooting birds, but love to watch my dog work even more.
So if your interested shoot me a pm.
