Title: What is the late Yak rez pheasant looking like.
Post by: stillhunter on December 03, 2016, 11:17:19 AM: I haven't hunted on the yak in a few years so I am just wondering if it is worth the money to hunt late birds this year?

Quail were sticking to the really thick cover. After two unrecovered birds I decided to get picky with my shots, knocked down two over open ground. Put up 5-6 really big coveys and a dozen singles.
