YEAH, I DOUBT I'LL GO AFTER THE BLACK ONES, THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 3 OR 4 OF THEM, BUT THE OTHER ONES WILL DEFINATELY BE TARGETS. :chuckle:

OH,.. AND THE BEST THING I LIKE ABOUT UPLAND HUNTING IS WATCHING MY DOGS WORK, SHOOTONG THE BIRD IS A LITTLE BONUS FOR ME. :tup:

Post by: BIGINNER on March 08, 2012, 02:51:11 PM: YEAH, MY PLACE IS JUST INSANE IN THE EARLY MORNINGS, ROOSTERS ARE CROWING LIKE CRAZY. THESE TWO WERE HENS, THE BLACK ROOSTERS ARE WAY BIGGER.

THEY'RE ALL PEN RAISED BIRDS, BUT THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH WILD, THEY ESCAPED FROM A NEUBOR SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AND THEY HAVE BEEN BREADING IN THE WILD HERE. THERE'S 50+ THAT I KNOW OF RUNNING AROUND HERE. NOBODY REALLY HUNTS THEM EXCEPT RESEDENTS ONCE IN A WHILE. WE HAD A COUPLE GUYS THAT JUMPED OUT OF THEIR TRUCK AND RAN ONTO OUR NEIBORS PROPERTY AND SHOT ONE, THEN TOOK OFF LEAVING THE BIRD,.. THE NEIBOR CAUGHT UP TO THEM AT THE GAS STATION AND CALL THE POLICE,... GUYS GOT IN TROUBLE.. :chuckle:

Post by: netcoyote on April 02, 2012, 07:09:18 AM: Had this one in my horse paddock a couple years ago. We live near Lake Tapps on the westside. Drove my setter nuts for awhile. Must have been someones pet, it flew off and I never saw it again.
