I remembered one more important thing about pheasant hunting. The birds are big and the long tail feathers draw peoples eyes to them. It is easy to shoot at the tail feathers. Remember that as you are getting ready to shoot. As you swing the gun through the bird and think tail, body, beak, bang. Or do what I do and concentrate only on the white ring around the neck.

I know , I know I just remember seeing my first rooster and thinking wow, only to shoot and watch the birds legs drop. I shot it in the after finding it and ringing his neck, I was thinking a bird this beautiful need a clean kill.

Thanks for the pointers Ron. I’m a rookie to bird hunting so the shooting advice is appreciatted. Keep it coming! The local DNR office will issue replacement Hunters Safety cards for $2.75, I made the mistake of catching them over their lunch break yesterday, I’ll be trying again today.
