I did! Supposedly it is the best year for pheasants in North Dakota and Minnesota, and I beleive it. The spot we hunted was hunted last week for junior hunting opener, so the birds were skidish. We were also hunting next to a very large corn field that hadn't been taken down, and as soon as the shots went flying, we could see 50-100 of them fly into the feild for cover. It started off quick. First one up was a big one (in the pic) dropped it like a sac of potatos. Second one was big too, but we lost it in some really heavy cattails. MY father got two also, both were very large 2nd year birds. This was after about an hour and a half of hunting.
Then, our dog bree sprained her front paw and couldn't work the field. We cut it short there. By 10:30 we saw as much action as we did all day opener the last 4 years. Dog is allready walking better, but right now she is cashed out on the couch. She will be movin slow for the next couple days.
Any, picture time!

Ignore my parents corny halloween decorations, lol.

I hunt in ND. We had alot of birds get up also. After i dropped my 2nd i couldnt shoot any more. It was like god touched me and said "you shall suck at shooting today". I couldnt hit anything. Its ok i got 2 atleast. I lost one in the heavy cattails also. We looked for 20min but no go.....we had to leave it. I really hate doing that!!!!!!!!!! Thinkin bout going again on sat the 21st.

I'm going on Friday, beating all the hunters out. I lost another bird because some random hunter popped his head over a hill we were hunting. I was basically aiming at his face when the bird got up. Fucker. -
Here we go. Legitamite 22" tail feather. This is my biggest ever. Had about a 3/8 inch spur (from what I gathered, it wa shot off). Found this one and about 20 others in a burned out cattail field. This is the biggest.

Next to a 65 lb English Setter, bad angle on the bird, but you get an idea on the size.

Investigating the kill!!

I'm very happy!
