Other Hunting > Upland Birds

Seriously contemplating pheasant hunting for my first time

(1/3) > >>

kweedon:
I have never been pheasant hunting before and I have read a few articles on it already. but I don't have a dog and I don't really know where to go. I live 20 miles from the skookumchuck release sight but I hear it is hit pretty hard. anyone have some tips for a first timer?

WSU:
It is far better with a dog.  Try to find a friend that has a dog and go with them.

kweedon:
I already own a Remington 1100 3" and I have about 5 boxes of #3 steel shot by Xpert

Stilly bay:
If your living that close to the skookumchuck release site that means your close to some of the best grouse hunting on this side of the state. Don't waste your time on release site pheasants, grouse are  easier for the dogless hunter to bag.

CP:
Just take a walk through the release site.  Try to stay out of shotgun range of other hunters.   You might flush some birds but more likely other hunters will kick some up that will fly your way.  If you down one, mark where it falls and get to it as quickly as you can.  If you have trouble finding a downed bird someone with a dog is usually more than willing to help.
