    2014 opening day

    Scrubbed the collars this am again and got a chance to sneak out at 5pm and 20 minutes into the hunt put up 3 birds got one that was a rooster. Well this bird was one nice big mature bird so maybe they stopped with the small/young birds. Although the hens I put up were small. 2 more finds...

    They do a good job stocking, for 5 weeks they stock designated areas at least once a week, bigger more popular areas get it 2 times a week, and the real big areas get stocked 3 times a week. Also the sportsman clubs stock birds. You are from PA? Used to do competition hunts at Warriors Mark...

    20 gauge loads for Pheasant

    Many factors to consider for what would be the best shell for your circumstances. I shoot side by side shotguns in all guages but the 20 and 410 are my favorites. Next I hunt over very skilled GSP's (I have 3 of them). The birds I shoot are stocked pheasants, wild woodcock and wild ruffed...

    Massachusetts

    Bird hunting is OK here in the Western end of the state, pretty much the Conn Valley area along the Ct River. Yes it is a put and take 6 week season with no hunting on Sunday (old time blue laws). But not only does the state stock many areas but the sportsmans clubs raise birds and stock public...
