Thought you might be interested in knowing where you can go in the winter, as many places are closed. Add your known "open in the winter" spots to the list.

I'm headed to Bird's Eye View in the morning. This is my very first pheasant hunt, I'm going with my buddy. Any tips? I've never hunted pheasants - only used them in training.
I am no expert, but I would recommend keeping your dogs working tight to you.
I have a chessie which normally only works as a retriever. I had him "hunt it up" and he flushed all planted birds he came across. Was incredibly windy and some birds got out of range really fast.
Think we went 18 or 19 for 25. The birds we didn't get were gone!http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...f22f63f741.jpg
Mine's a flusher so he's close
If you enjoy hunting them in the snow, you will love hunting them in thick cover each fall.

Exeter game farm and Twincreek.
Twin creek Game Farm is open all winter but I didn't think Exeter Game Farm was.
That looks like a great day! What game farm was that?Quote:

If you don't have a dog, he'll loan you one of his goldens, or his Llewellen Setter. ( Usually once you've been out before and have proven that you're not a yahoo).

We do the same thing and enjoy a cold one after a hunt. :)Quote:

The other place I had hunted was near Woodstock. The trainer I was using for force fetching organized a day for a bunch of her clients. It was a riot that day.

There Is nothing wrong with the responsible consumption of alcohol after a hunt. If you guys were hunting in Europe a bottle of wine at lunch is traditional so a beer at the end of the day seems harmless.
Even the dog is staring at the Creemore like he wants one. Good flick.
Great time yesterday at Birds eye view. Will post pictures soon - my computer has died
Bruce is a great guy. I'm booked for next Saturday at Creek Haven. Dog needs a treat.Quote:

Went to pine ridge today- first time for me and my pup for an upland hunt. I must say great place and great staff. I would recommend to anyone and I will be returning. My pup surprised me by flushing all the birds within range and actually sitting on flush. If only me and my friend were a better shot. But still ended with 9 birds. So it was a great day.
