Pheasants
2000
general pheasant season. All images were taken on hunts and
on wild bird. (Pages 1, 2,
and 3).
|
|
Pheasants were standing on top of
this hay stack. As we approached, they flew off in
several different directions. This cock bird headed
into a weedy ditch nearby.
|
|
|
The shot bird landed on a dirt road
that surrounds the alfalfa field. Pheasants are large
birds compared to other upland birds. Sage makes a quick
retrieve.
|
|
|
An asparagus field cut weeks before
and allowed to dry is set on fire. Fire destroy insects
and helps to grow healthy asparagus.
|
|
|
Burrowing owls are oftentimes seen
near alfalfa fields. They are the only owls to make
underground homes. Thus, many avid bird watchers come
to observer their behavior.
|
|
Below are images of those I
enjoyed sharing hunting experiences.
|
Gerry
ran his GSP pup on short outings. The pup was already
gun-broke and showed interest in pheasants. Sal harvested
his bird over Stinger and mine over Temis. Both birds
were pinned just in front of the pointing dogs.
|
|
|
Steve's first pheasant over pointing
dogs. The bird was taken with his 12 gauge over and
under. Steve considered his day hunting with me wonderful
and fun.
|

|
A
camp fire among friends is a great way to end a hard
day of hunting. Sal, Pat and a young bird hunter relax
in front a warm fire.

Danny,
Bob, Gary and Jerry are regulars at camp. Bob is a
great host and invites all of us to share his camp
throughout the year.
