Loaded up the truck with everything for fishing and threw in the gun and dog just in case. Ended up hauling the boat down to Rochester and didn’t even use it!
Went to a farm north of town that use to have about 200 acres of CRP a couple years ago. Pulled into the driveway and all I can see is bean fields as far as the eye can see! 
Talked to the farmer anyways and said that we would still give it a try. While driving to the spot to park a hen jumps out of the fenceline and flys in front of the truck! Oh man you want to know how excited 3 dogs get when they are in the back of the truck and see a bird that they did not flush! VERY PUMPED UP AND READY TO GO!!!
After walking every available fenceline and water way that still had grass we finally jumped a rooster about 100 yards from the truck.
Man does #4 steel shot cripple a bird! That bird dropped like I had a rope tied to its legs.
All in all the dogs got what they wanted and it could not have been a better day to be out walking fields. I’ll have to bring the boat pheasant hunting more often.
p.s. This is the first bird for 2 of the dogs and thats all it took to let them know why they were out there!
