Bud and I hit the Butler Game Lands today. Little chilly, but not bad. Hunted around 5 hours and ended up with 14 flushes/points and these four Birds.
Had a couple really nice cock Birds get up wild and they must have flown for a quarter mile. In fact all but a couple birds went out strong. The GC deserves more than a little credit for their put and take Pheasant program. The covers on this game lands are excellent-some you can't fight your way thru-and they encompass at least a thousand acres. Saw two other hunters, but did hear some other shooting in the distance.
Another high point of the day were Deer. Like 38 in one field. Saw a total of 44 Deer for the day. The good days may not be over just yet.
Took a previous posters advice and used some 5's in the 28. On one high Bird at around 30 yards out, it was a head flop.
