Do you have dogs? That is the first question. If you do, then DIY might be for you. If you do not, then I do not suggest DIY. Dogs are critical to enjoyment of any bird hunt, and nearly a requirement for success for DIY pheasant hunting. I say these things because you could conceivably road hunt limits of pheasants without dogs, and to each his own.
Its going to be a tough season this year, the lack of rain in June and July limited the success of the hatch and consequently not a lot of birds around in 2017.
