I spend most of my time (and money, well a large portion of it at least) in the Deer and Turks sections of this site. But, to be honest, I think wingshooting is my favorite of all.

I am blessed because I have family land in South Dakota that we get to hunt each fall. But pheasants are the reason I hunt everything else. My first ever kill was a pheasant at the ripe old age of 29, with my wife's grandfather's 1942 Sweet Sixteen (you gotta start somewhere when you grow up on a golf course). That trip led to turkeys, which led to bow hunting, which led to gun deer, which led to varmints, which will lead to ducks and geese. I love to hunt, even more than golf. Almost all of my vacation days are planned around: the spring turkey season, the SD opener, and the rut.

I don't see alot of folks here that swing the 20 guages at the chinese birds. Any other fans on this site?

Daver

I have been know to put down the bow for at least a couple of weeks in October to chase pheasant up and down coulees up here in Southern Alberta. Its a nice change of pace for a couple of weeks before the rut starts up.

I love it, I've been to Iowa the last 2 years on pheasant hunting trips and have been really successful!! I killed the first one that got up for me!! 1 shot 1 bird isshe!! :shock: 8) I absolutely love it! I will not get to go to Iowa this year as I'm going to Wyoming on a deer hunt in November, but we are trying to find a place to pheasant hunt for a day while we are up there, Wingshooting is becoming my favorite hunting by far, I absolutely love it, I know I said that earlier, but I just do!!

Keep up the good shooting okbowman...

Going to south dakota end of october with some guys from work they go every year and have a blast .This will be my first time looking foward to it

thru nthru mitchel area is where we will be going phesant hunting the end of october my first time looking foward to it the guys im going with go out their every year.

I am also from lethbridge, souther alberta and i am now waiting for oct. 15 for pheasent to open up it the most hunting i do in a month other than that big whitetail. almost there only two more weeks!!!!!!!!!

I live in mitchell south dakota,and man I don't know what I'd do without pheasants. The season opens next weekend for resient hunters, but you can only hunt on public land, so I probably won't go. I have to say my favorite way to hunt em' i roadhunting. Walking s firld is great, bu it gets a little boring walking feilds all day. When road hunting, it;s a rush everytime.

If it flies it dies!

I missed the Montana opener yesterday due to work. Believe me my black lab knows its time to kick out some birds! I cant wait for her to flush them out for me. I come home today and then its pheasant dinner on Monday night! There are so many seasons opened right now in Montana I dont know what to hunt for. I think thats called a good problem not a bad one 8)
