Tomorrow is opening day of Pheasant season in Iowa. I remember 40 years ago that day sounded like a war going on all day. Now you almost hear no shooting.
I haven't shot a Ringneck for about 8 years. The paper says the numbers are up.
Gonna take my Dad's 97 Winchester and my German Shorthair JB out and shoot three Ringnecks.
Wish me luck.

I do so much miss Pheasnt hunting in the mid west. Lots of memories. We always had Pheasnt for ThanksGiving. . Sure miss those times in the fields of Northern Illinois ..

Last time I lived in the Midwest, (early 1980s), one could simply walk up to a farmer's front door and ask to hunt with no issues. Wild pheasants were fun to hunt (until that ND weather slipped into the negative numbers)

Pheasant hunting showed me how terribly bad of a shot I am. Even knowing the bird was getting ready to flush, I couldn't hit - and they run, approaching the speed of light. No, I'll stick to something I can hit - like a pattern board.
