When my Brittany was alive and we did a great deal of pheasant hunting, we would find nice whitetail bucks in the darndest places ( Duh...) she would point them, they were loathe to get out of their beds,and when they did, she would be pizzed that I didn't kill them... Pheasants are cool Impala are kinda fun to hunt...I whacked my best with that .303 you liked.. Another real fun one is warthogs...you'd like that... Ingwe

Getting ready to post a bunch of pics, but I'm not sure what I'm more envious of, that rifle or that impala!

For me its a 3 way tie. Scott's Scott Double...Inwe's .303...or the Impala. Man I'd love to live where there are pheasants again. On our farm growing up they were a damn nuisance....now ya can't find one.

I used to live near Rhodes --about 30 miles north of Saginaw--from 2001 to 2003. I used to see the occasional pheasant running along the ditches next to the beet fields. Grouse, though were everywhere. The big old dog with the pheasant you see above was made on these birds.

Small world HS. I live by Quanicassee...about 10 miles East of Bay City. We have a sizable farm here. Growing up in the late 60's early 70's 75 bird flushes on opening day were common. We raised Brittany's and Lab's. Living right on the Bay we had the best of waterfowling and pheasants. Fond memories....now we have more deer than we ever had pheasants and coyotes to match. Never saw either in the "bird days".

I was told it used to be like Iowa was in the 70's-90's, then farm practices changed.
Grouse are still everywhere. Don't be afraid to tackle the inner parts of Gladwin county state land.

Well, I can't top that I wonder if I should ask our outfitter if we can't spend an afternoon bird shooting?
