Hey all, well today was our (North Dakota) Pheasant Opener. For me it translated into one word....Sucked! I saw a total of 4 birds that got up wild and that was it. None of the old reliable spots held any birds (today that is). But, didn't go home empty handed. Did manage a limit of grouse. It's been an exceptional year for grouse. Our G&F Dept said grouse are down and pheasants up. Guess time will tell on the pheasant end, but not today!

Anyway, I used my 12b Purdey today

Will see what tomorrow brings!

Hey all, day 2 of the pheasant season, except.....no pheasants! Got up one hen and a rooster that flushed wild. Boy, today my shooting was really off. Got 1 grouse, lost 1 and dropped the legs on another (he just sailed away!) . Worse is I flat out missed 2 more! Should have brought home a limit, but only one today. Oh well, just one of those days!

I used my 12b Blanch today

Pretty decent day afield. Still way too warm out, hopefully that changes soon. This first week, the birds obviously have had the “weather gauge” advantage in regards to wind, humidity, and temp. Birds can hear you walking in a mile away, you can hear the dogs breathing/panting when they’re 300 yrds out ranging. It’s tough. Still somehow managed a brace for myself. My oldest son took some time away from his college homework this weekend to walk the grass with his pops, managed his own brace. He was shooting his favorite gun….a 16 bore Winny 97’ circa 1914 choked mod. He needed all of that choke both yesterday and today.

I used my Chas. Lancaster SLE circa 1894.

Hey all, well, another day of crappy pheasant hunting! Got up one hen.....and that was it! On the bright side, did take a slight detour to go after some grouse. Got a double out of a covey rise and worked the prairie for a short time. Got one on a long shot, that was gratifying. Limited in about a 1/2 hour. The weather needs to turn I think, it's been very warm to hot, very dry and not much wind overall. Guess time will tell as they say.

Used my 12b Henry Atkin

Addie looks like she would appreciate some cooler temps too, Greg.

Yes indeed. We called it a bit early, the temps were starting to rise and I don't need a good dog going down. Supposed to cool off this week. Hope things improve for the Ringnecks.

Best,

Greg

I took my vintage Birmingham shotgun out for a walk today. I chased up two grouse in the bush, managed to get one. There doesn't seem to be many Ruffies this year where I am. We had a lot of moisture from May through to the middle of July which likely impacted their chicks. Anyway, it was still a good day out in the woods.
