    2nd weekend reports.

    Hunted NC on Friday & Saturday. All private ground with 4 guys and 1 dog. Wind on Friday made things a bit more interesting. Little more than a half day hunt we put up 3 nice coveys (15+ each) and a lone rooster. Finished the day with 8 quail and that lone rooster. Saturday, started the morning...

    Best UPLAND hunting pants

    I've got a couple pair going into their 5th season that have held up real well. Don't think you can go wrong with the Wranglers.

    Trying to get in shape for Opening Day

    I'm still young (27) but will be going into this season in the best shape I've been in since I started 10 years ago. I've dropped 35# since the beginning of the year with a nice mix of walking/running and a change in diet. Cut out soda completely (outside of a cocktail here and there). Seems...

    Surprise flushes

    Took my first pheasant from a surprise flush. Was blocking at the corner of an old plumb thicket on the edge of some corn stubble. Standing at the end of the thicket chatting, a rooster flushes from about 100 yards out in the stubble and flies straight at me. If I had quicker feet and wasn't...

    turkey season

    Friday morning hunt was a blast. No bird but could clearly hear 6-8 different toms and they were nonstop gobbling, especially with the storms in the area and little little thunder. Love that shock-gobble. This guy came in Saturday evening without making a sound. Caught me a little off guard...

    When, Where, and How did You Shoot Your First Pheasant?

    Thanks for resurrecting this old thread! I was 18 in NC Kansas and it was my first pheasant season. I grew up quail hunting in the eastern part of the state and would sit and talk with my dad after every one of his outings but never made the trip west until I was in college. Was blocking at...

    Report The good, The Bad and The Ugly for this weekend

    Glad to hear of y'alls success. Didn't see a bird the first two spots, both private land. Third stop, put up two very nice coveys of quail, the first had about 15 or so, second 20-25. Final stop of the morning was a small section of milo stubble. Had a farmer friend's 12 yo son join us for this...

    Ringtones for the Pheasant enthusiast

    Had #3 on my old phone for a while until switched over to iphone. They're a little more sneaky about the custom ringtones. Did get bob white whistle on the new one though.

    Photo of the Year Contest!

    Great idea! Started carrying a camera in the field last year after being inspired by this forum. GSPs in pic belong to good friend and they were proud of that hard earned first quail of the season.

    Anyone hearing any quail calling?

    Heard several around my folks place turkey hunting two weeks ago around Louisburg. There were two nice coveys on their place this past year. Good to know they are still around.
