Pheasant Hunting 11-19-16

Billy and I tried out a new WMA area for pheasant hunting this weekend. We ended up in SE MN near the town of New Market. It was windy and chilly, but luckily the sun was out. The boys jumped a hen as we started and we thought this is a good sign! But that was the only bird we saw. I was bummed it was a hen – it was a great flush by my boys and would have been a nice shot for both Billy and I, but what da ya do.

It was a fun walk, fresh air, and Fritz and Remi had a great time bouncing and running through the grasses and down the fields. We were only out for a couple of hours but they both slept all the way home.

I believe I know that exact WMA, it isn’t far from my house. I’ve had some decent luck out there, but never fantastic. It’s a great spot relatively close to the south metro! Glad the dogs had fun.

I’ll be hitting Iowa this weekend with friends after Turkey day for my 3rd trip down there this season. Its no picnic there either but i have yet to go and not get to shoot more than one bird.

Bummer, but it’s always fun to check out new places.
