For those of you going out west, make sure you call the farmer, or people in the area you plan to hunt, and make sure the corn is out. Most of it is still standing in Eastern CO and Western NE. Standing corn makes for tough pheasant hunting. I got this young bird but it should have been a double. I had to hold my second shot on the double because a friends dog was hot on the heels of a low flying bird, which he was NEVER going to catch. One reason I’m no fan of unbroke dogs. Anyways, the hunting will continue to be tough until the corns out. Good news is they were combining like crazy, so I’d assume it will all be out within two weeks.
