Just returned from a two-day hunt

Our group went out yesterday afternoon and this morning. We shot 38 birds and had a great time. All the best...

It depends

There were four of us. One fellow had not been pheasant hunting for over thirty years. He quickly got the hang of it and did well. The other guys are old veterans. We still managed to shoot off about ten boxes of shells. At this place, you are billed for killable birds. So if the bird flushes within range and you miss, you still bought the bird. It sounded like flak guns opening up. All the best...

Gil,

SO 250 rounds were expended (10 boxes) to bag 38 birds? A Ratio of 1 bird per 6.57 rounds expended? Do the birds wear Kevlar Body Armor? LOL!

Fortunately, we did not run out of shells or birds. You had to be there to experience the situation. All the best...

I've only shot pen birds once. Had fun but they were kinda down sized from
wild birds. How big were these critters?

These were full-sized birds and the owner of the pheasant farm raises 20,000 birds a year. He puts them out prior to any hunts so the birds act like native wild stock. The link below shows my English Springer Spaniel with birds and two hunters that I do not know. All the best...
