Some say to scout a head of time, but usually I recommend any type of tall grasslands around fields. Because of a pheasants life span they learn very quickly during hunting season. Usually early season birds are "dumb" and the real hunt begins in the late season. Early Season Tips: -Don't Get Shot! Their are many "young" hunters out their looking to bag a bird. Unfortunately they do not care if they shoot hens or DOGS!!! So be very careful!! I have listened to many of stories about men nearly killing somebody over a dog. As any dog owner will tell you, They will kill for their little buddy. -Most pheasants are in light grassed areas, cornfields, ditches, and brushy areas. -Look for areas of heavy cover -Close range shooting is likely so use modified, improved cylinder chokes. -Avoid release sites! Hunt in properties close to them. Not only might this save your dogs life, but it might save yours too! Plus the pheasants will be there. Late Season Hunting: -A wiser bird!! Yah now this is the sport!! -Go into dense cover, and off beaten spots. -Keep Quiet! Pheasants have excellent hearing and now they know what to listen for. -Early season is great for dog training, but make sure you have an experienced dog with you or the pheasant will confuse, and frustrate you dog to the point of him cusing and you cursing! -Use a modified to full choke with number 4's or 5's |
