Well the year was brutal on the pheasant populations,with the drought taking it's toll on the chick crop this year,and with the added complications of little to no cover from minimal crops and CRP grasses,it was a VERY tough hunt.There were 22 of us in our group,and we only took 12 birds in 3 days of hunting,but the comaraderie,and new friendships made,it was all in all a very big success!
Here is a recap in pics-hope you enjoy!;
It was very cold each day with plenty of frost in the mornings;
