I see nothing wrong with large groups hunting pheasant in wide-open grain fields as long as the group understands the plan and the safety concerns. And I am against using alcohol during the hunt but I am curious as to how you would know that alcohol and unlicensed hunters were in the group...

Where we hunt, super dry conditions in mid summer through late fall resulted in very few birds. 960 acres of CRP, two trips, one rooster, one shot opportunity. Goat heads and burrs where they never were before. overall, the worst I have seen in 10 years.

Beautiful video of a great looking dog. So sorry for your loss. Time heals...

Great Video! Loved the dogs work and the unique shot angles you had. Nice!

Very nice. Hard to see the bird but the dog had no trouble finding it :)

We flushed about 20 in range last season (January 2016) and couldn't figure out what the hell just happened. Luckily we did not shoot as season closes January 1...which by the way is a weird date to close the season, especially since the limit is 2 birds PER SEASON. Saw 5 fly over I-76 east of...

:cheers:Very funny guys :)I am a brittany owner also...great dogs! I also have French shotgun that I am trying to sell...never been fired and only been dropped once...:)

Nice work. Hunted hard till about 2 PM and never shot my gun. Saw birds but they were wild as heck. Dogs had a tough time pinning them down in the dry, dusty conditions. Anyone who limited out did well IMO :)

You took a 13 week old dog hunting on opening day? Seriously? IMO that's way too young to be taking a dog out on a live, wild bird hunt. Good luck.

I heard the snake bite shots do not work, from my yuppie urban vet. Don't know whether that is true but that's what I was told. I was also told by a lady, who coincidentally happened to be cleaning my teeth at the time, that she had a client tell her a few weeks before that he had two hunting...

Well that's not gonna work for me because I have a neck...and I shoot fine...not perfect but good enough to keep me happy.

Here are my thoughts... Been there, done that...it happens to all of us. Cold morning gun stock? Natural reaction is to not have cheek where it needs to be. This causes shot to go high... I agree on the lack of follow-through comments...shot goes behind... So, my solution to bad pheasant...

Yes, but did you get the bird...? Joking...glad you are OK...that's why I like my O/U...always looking in my barrels...easy, peasy...

Maybe because Remington lost track of $32 million? That money could have bought a lot of WIA now couldn't it...?

There never has been a season on collared dove in Colorado. Legal to shoot them year-round and it has been for as long as I can remember. Plus, they've been here forever...proof lies in their brief supporting role in Dances with Wolves...hahaha....:) :cheers:
