Well its about that time of year again...headed to Nebraska this weekend for opening week of Pheasant season. My buddies there who are harvesting right now are saying they've seen alot more birds this year than they have in about 10 years which is promising. Population has been WAY down for a while now but the last few years have shown decent growth (still slim pickings...but about 5 years ago my dad walked for a week and didnt even SEE a bird).
Weather wont be ideal, a bit too warm for my hunting likes but it is what it is and I hope to see some nature and maybe have a bird or two for dinner next week.
I'll be taking an assortment of shotguns. My primary bird gun is my Auto 5, but I'll probably walk a field with a BSS, Superposed, 1887 and 1901 just for the heck of it.
All the farmers up there are deer hunters so they let us pheasant hunt to our hearts content. I'd guess they have about 6-7k acres they let us walk. Obviously not all is cover but there's enough to wear a guy out.
