Turkeygirl Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Well people, I gave God some thanks for this. I'm messing around the house, watching a movie with the family when the dogs are barking their heads off on the back porch. I went to look incase it was a rabbit since I was planning on hunting rabbits in our woods. I look and I see up on our hill something move. I think maybe it is the pheasant that was in our woods a week ago so I look through the binocs and sure enough it is a pheasant! I grab my shotgun, some shotshells, and put on a camo jacket and my gloves (I am wearing purple sweatpants by the way,lol) Well I go up and follow the tracks of the pheasant as it goes down along the creek through really thick brush. I finally stop and look around below this bank and I hear a rustle in front of me. I see something move in some goldenrod about 15 yards from me and I first think it is a small bird until its head and neck come out, it is the pheasant! BOOM! I nail it in the head and I have officially bagged my first ever pheasant! So we will be having pheasant in the next day or so! Woohoo! I told mom Merry Christmas! I did get a photo but I dunno if it is Realtree or our computer being a slow pain but I'll try to get photos up soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Re: What an awesome gift! LOL@Bart ... yeah, it's OK to shoot the first one on the ground, (I did ) but the rest have to be airborn for sure...Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Re: What an awesome gift! Thats cool. Pheasant is mighty tastey. You will not be dissapointed. I have shot several pheasants on the ground. Do not let that bother you. Some of our stocked pheasants are too stupid to fly and deserve to get shot on the ground.

Guest KSNimrod Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Re: What an awesome gift! Congrats on the pheasant! We don't hunt with dogs here so our rule is "They run like a rabbit, they die like a rabbit." Of course I always claim I was just shooting at their feet to get them to fly!
