2025 Pheasant Season

[SLE]

Got our birds, but put a lot of miles on my boots. Warm and windy can make for some tough hunting. The blisters on my heels atleast tell me it wasn't easy, lol.

I know I didn't do much damage to them! One rooster on Saturday.

Same, not sure if the weather was the only factor. Didn't see anywhere near the number of birds as last year opening day.

Corn Sunflowers and cattails. LOTS of corn

Nuff said

The best hunting is in December. It’s still fun to go out opening day though. Just because.

Nine-month-old Chip thinks today was much better.

Yes when you can walk along outer edges of slough and pinch them with others best hunting pass shooting is what pheasants are made for!!

I've been out hunting roosts at night for ducks and some nights i hear hundreds of them crowing on posted land that never gets hunted.

Ducks don't crow.

Gordon Setter?

English Setter

Excellent bird dogs. I used to get them from Kerry Schorsh New England ND. He retired. I don't know of anyone in ND who seriously raises them.

Now I get them from:

English Setter Chip is doing very well for ten months. Winged a bird and it ran into three tree rows. The dogs were on it but couldn't find it. Old Sport walked away. I stepped into some grass they hadn't noised into yet and it popped out running.

Chip didn't see it go. I pointed to the ground in the direction it ran, and he took off following his nose. He was way out in an alfalfa field then went on point. The rooster jumped up and the dog had to tackle it. A dog's Gravy Train.

On opening day he lost two birds because he didn't know how to track. He is figuring things out fast.

He held the bird but doesn't retrieve yet. We are working on that. He likes to retrieve a wing tied to a stick and string.

Non Residents and Non Locals have the Prairie Trails tore up good after all this rain, go back where you came from and tear up your trails and see what happens

Oh brother

Guaranteed its not all "non". Enough idiots around here don't have a clue, Gotta get to that almighty bird or deer. And yes farmers will not be pleased, lot of harvesting to take place yet.

I put the biggest tires on my jacked up diesel I COULDN’T afford. Not only that but I invented a watering system that throws out gallons of water in front of me. That way I can tear up all the LOCALS roads ALL the time. Just so they feel special year round.

Make sure you put MN plates on your badass pickup so they know who to get mad at.

5 guys, 5 MN pickups, all hunting together with zero dog kennels……….at Audubon today. Like WTF, ya all couldn’t just come in 1 or 2 pickups . With all the private land getting tougher to access, the stuff that is open or public is getting pummeled. Hardly any traffic at Audubon or garrison last weekend, had zero issue running into other hunters. Today, it was jam packed, mostly blue platers………..
