[rasbo]

cock fight,that is one thing I have not seen with pheasants

[popeshawnpaul]

Can we set up a blind and get some great images of them? 

[quadrafire]

Denali--You better buy a lotto ticket. Your luck seems to be pretty good right now. Talk about opportunity----keep that camera handy. Sweet photos

If you don't mind sharing. Where was the burrowing owl?

[nwwanderer]

The posturing, chasing and preparation for a rooster fight often covers several hundred yards and rarely on a repeat site.  Tough to set up a blind to catch the action.  A very good long lens, stealth and fast feet would give a better chance.

Great pics. denali. I've been lucky enough to see roosters fight a couple times on our property outside of pullman. Pretty neat!

Super cool Denali....love those burrowing owls they crack me up when they pop out of the ground....

and those chicken fights get dirty.....when I lived in Idaho we had a few that pretty much lived on my property....so pretty

[denali]

Thanks everyone

 
Quadrafire  - pics are on a farm 2-3 mi N of Pasco, private property so I don’t feel comfortable being more specific.
h2ofowler - illegal cock fights in Pasco???

  Couple of years ago I was driving down an improved farm road about 30-35 mph  and these two rosters were in the middle of the road in a knock down- drag out fight so I slowed down,,,slowed down some more? Thinking they would run or fly off, well they didn’t and I came to a complete stop 20-30 yds from them and sat there and watched them…. Of course no camera but a memorable experience.

Thats awesome Denali.  I watched two chucks go at it today but didn't have a camera.  I never do when something like that happens.  Great captures.
