Saw LOTS of birds yesterday. 15+ It was hard to get close to them because they were going into the standing corn. Combines rolling everywhere. Managed to put one young bird in the bag.

Headed up to the farm in NE Iowa (Butler County). Family says bird numbers are awesome. I’ll try to report back later. Good luck and be safe everyone!!!

I hope everything goes well and your dog heals quickly. Our dogs are a big part of our family and it’s tough when something happens to them. Keep us posted.

Awesome pictures man...keep them coming!

I won’t be hunting for a while but I hope everyone is having a great time! My uncle in NE Iowa says there are all kinds of birds on the farm. They still have a lot of corn right now but once it gets out hunting should be excellent.

This company makes nice boxes. I don’t personally own one yet but I do own some of there underbody boxes for our dump trucks, I’m wanting to get a 2 hole dog box with storage from them. http://www.alumline.com/

Cold temperatures I was thinking about heading out this week but with lows being -14 and highs around 5 degrees I might just wait. I don't mind hunting in the cold but that's cold.:eek: My dog is ready to hit the road.....will it ever warm up?

Thanks for all the kind words. It is a awesome looking bird and I'm sure the mount will look great. I talked to my neighbor today (the taxidermest) and he said once I get it to him it will be 3-6 months until I get it back. I will post pictures when it's done.:thumbsup:

Yes they are not all white. I like the fact that it still has some color on it like a normal one. I'm mounting mine because I shot it on my grandpas farm and he died a month ago. I was telling him about seeing this when I first saw it. I never thought I would actually see it again and shoot...

Nice mount high voltage. Is that a wall or pedestal/table mount? I see you live in Grand Rapids, that's a beautiful area. I fish Winnie every fall.

Thank you for posting the pictures for me. This is a wild bird, there are no game farms even remotely close. I captured him on my go pro about one month ago and I can't believe I finally shot him. When he flushed a month ago I thought he was a hawk and didn't shoot.

Mount That is a very nice pheasant you did! I have found a couple mounts I sort of like. I like some that are not mounted on a wall (more like a pedestal or display mount with some grass or habitat) but I'm not sure where I would put it or how practical it is. Send me your email so I can...

Today I shot a pheasant on the family farm that is part white and I'm going to have it mounted. It is a beautiful bird. I probably will not see another one line it in my lifetime. I shot a black one a couple weeks ago:eek: What is going on with these birds? Anyways I was wonder what is a...

Yesterday (Sunday) Where were you hunting and do you have a dog? I hunted in NE Iowa yesterday with my dog. In the morning we hit some pollinator plots ( small blocks about 2 acres of wildflowers and grass) and found a couple birds, I noticed the birds were hiding in the shorter grass early...

Strap vest I also have that same Orvis vest and like it very much. It has lots of room in it, nice shell pockets and I like the fact that it has two plastic buckles on the front to keep it closed. I hear people love there wing works vests but they are always sold out. I would think you...
