Pheasants are fun to hunt because they are too unpredictable. They will hold and fly for fox and yotes. They tried that trick on hunters and got their tails shot off. Now, for hunters, they evolved to run, hold and dodge or as soon as you cross a fenceline they just get up and fly. The young on opening weekend, get weaded out fast. The older ones learn fast what a man with a gun looks like and these are the ones that will test you and your dog. There is nothng like hunting behind a good dog. It's sheer poetry ....
Be Safe !!!
