Hunted Monday after the opener had the whole area for myself. Saw 9 birds 2 were roosters. My Brittany stll hunts but we both wear out quicker.

My Brittany is 14 and still hunts.

My Brittany is pushing 14 and still has it in him. Knocked the grouse down at 40 yards, only broke a wing. We spent about 7 minutes looking for it when Tbone went on point the bird hopped up and he grabbed it!

Saw a group of 6 young pheasants last week the roosters had full color

Proud Brittany just got his PHD in Peasant Acquisition!

When you have 2 birds for 10 miles and the count 3 in 10 miles , the number is up but you don’t have many birds. Statistics are misleading.

Nobody posts on this thread because pheasant hunting sucks especially on the eastern side of the state. I’ve hunted in Nebraska since 1971 and this year has been the absolute worst.

I hunted my 13 yr old Brittany this year and he held up fine. He did a good job finding downed birds and even caught one on his last hunt! I walk this dog unleashed every day of the year regardless of weather putting on at least 4 miles. He’s been on Science Diet J/d formula for the last 3...

Hunted Clay county one morning saw 1 rooster and 10 hens. I expected it to be better .

I’ve offered to hunt with lone hunters on several occasions. One was a dentist stationed at Offit air force base in Nebraska. He was alone without a dog and I had a talented Springer. We saw some birds and got some shooting in. He was thrilled and I offered to hunt with him again. 15 years later...

Saw 9 birds most were out of range. One got up close and I got him. I’m 75 my dog is 13 but hunted surprisingly well.

There are birds on public land but it can be hit and miss in high pressure areas. Hunted a high pressure area and kicked up 18 birds hunting by myself with a dog and dropped several. A week later I didn’t kick up one bird!
