Hello Everyone,
This is my second year hitting the properties involved in the pheasant release program in Norfolk County, and I finally got one. Didn't see any last year and this year on the same property, saw three. Went with a friend who had an untrained pointer that flushed it, he shot and missed. I was far from him and couldn't see him, but looked towards the area where I heard the shot, and saw the pheasant fly by and needless to say, I didn't miss!
Congrats, they are a pretty bird.
Was that this morning? i.e., no snow down there?
I had the day off but, not knowing what the snow cover was like down there, decided not to use the gas finding out ... looks like I guessed wrong, because I was planning to hit the same spot you did....
Congrats on the bird.
Nice bird and nice shooting Maxfax! :thumbup:
You got rewarded for paying attention, and we are all very happy for you. ;)
Congrats on the beautiful bird!
Has anyone been to hullet lately
Great pics and a nice bird. Do you only get Pheasant in those woods, or were you able to take something else home last year (like rabbit, etc.)?

This forest is 100 acres, so not too small. So anyone have any ideas why it seemed so barren?

Nice bird! I miss going after them..
I can't say why it might have been so quite. Maybe they stock the pheasant there so often that all the other animals avoid it! That wouldn't be so bad.
I just found out about this Norfolk program at the end of this season and didn't make it out. Is it well run? Is it worth the drive from K-W?
