I don’t have me a bird dowg any more (beagle). We used to love getting out any time of the day early morn mid day even late after noon to spook up a pheasant or two (any rabbit dog (beagle) will hunt pheasant though they wont point them out like a Brittany they will flush them up for ya when they get close to the bird.

Finding places to hunt them these days are a little more difficult than when in my youth. Well when I was young where I live now was wilderness and farm now it is all subdivision. And all I had then to do to jump a pheasant was to walk out the front door of my house and 2 or 3 would take flight, squawking as they flew away. [/font][/size][size 4][font "Book Antiqua"]
At any rate I was a wonderin iff'in any of you were out hunting them birds and how was it going, (would like to hear about them hunts and to see some pics too)[/font] [/size]
