Special prize

[boneaddict]

How would one of you pheasant hunters like to bag one of these?  Both of these birds are wandering around wild in the Wenas as we speak compliments of some storm activity while I was gone hunting.  One is from Japan and costs anywhere from $200 to $400 dollars.  The other is a specially breed melanistic variety.  Some may actually find some of these out in the wild, but probably not as good as this one.  HAPPY HUNTING!

here is the one that is paying for my new camera.  I ahte to see him and his gal friend go, but its a fair trade to get me back into pictures.

WOW! Almost to pretty to shoot...

I reckon they can cross with the ringnecks, eh? That might get interesting. Trophy pheasant hunting in the Wenas next year!

Hey Bone, I have driven through the wenas area, and past the lake a few times this year. Mostly going from Oak to LT. I have seen a ton of quail while driving, but I don't see anything public to hunt near wenas. Any spots you know of that a guy can bang some quail?

[Trashmonkey]

Oh.. the flies I could tie with some of them pretty feathers!

[ICEMAN]

Tastes like chicken!

Bone, you have any silvers?  Those are my favorite.

[Alchase]

Bone, are those pets? Or do you release them? I always wanted to raise a few of the Chineese goldens (I think that is their name) you have some cool looking birds.

[boneaddict]

Thanks Alchase.  I raise them.  Every once in awhile one of them little buggers get out.  Here is a Red Golden

[boneaddict]

Here's a fly tyer for you.  Someone just offered me $500 for it.  I think its sold.

[boneaddict]

Yep, I have Silvers.  Get yourself a pen I have several pairs and they aren't very expensive.

Wenas Quail.  There is limited access to the LT, but there is a spot just this side of the lake, and about 3 miles this side of the lake that you can drive onto it.  Beautiful country, but it does get shot at. 

[Alchase]

Wow, those are some gorgeous birds! Looks like a fun hobby.
