OUCH! That has to hurt! Good to see a few birds down, I put a ton of public land miles on with my Chessy's and did not flush anything on Monday. Not even a hen flush!
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

I'm glad to hear a couple people got into the birds.  We had five people and four dogs.  Hunted all day in the Lower Valley and got a total of 1 Rooster.  We might have seen three all day.

Good looking birds. Congrats to all the successful hunters. I didn't pheasant hunt this year, but i heard a ton and saw 13 roosters when i was out deer hunting.

Hope those pup are OK now. My dog is on the IR right now cause she scrached the hell out of her eye opening weekend. We hunted hard for two days and put up over 10 hens (8 in one field) and only 5 roosters and we only shot at four and got two. It was still awesome.

Its not the opener any more but we did well again. I had my 8 year old shorthair on injured reserve( cut ear-see previous post-opener). This was good for my 2 year old shorthair because the younger ones need to learn on their own. We shot our limit of pheasant and finally hit one of those fighter-jet flying snipes. Love the prairie storm shells. I hit and killed a pheasant at 40+ yards. On my last bird the rooster was soooo dead. He decided it would be a good idea to cackle 50 yards in front of us. :bdid: for him!

we were at crab creek and our lab ran into porcupine also.  Never had any problems before there.  We hadnt gotten any birds up and my husband told him to fetch it up we thought he had an inujured bird.

I hope we both were able to get all the quills out.
