Nadia, Cinder, and I spent spent Saturday afternoon hunting pheasant. It was all three of our first time out and it was a lot of fun. I went to a hunt club that is open to public. They released four birds for me into a one acre field planted with what I think is called grain sorghum. It was very thick cover (it thins out by the middle of November), but Nadia and Cinder still managed to find and flush all the birds. We faced a few difficulties; my lack of shooting skill coupled with fact that my dogs are going to flush the pheasant whether I am ready or not, and Nadia couldn’t see over the plants to find the birds, but if I could spot the general area she would go fetch it up for me. We came home with 2 out 4 birds. One got away and another flew over some trees into a neighboring field and went down, but it would have been unsafe to retrieve because there were hunters there too. We had an awesome day though. Invitations are open to all for duck or pheasant.
