Pheasant that first weekend in October get slaughtered because they're too dumb and too slow
Last year my cousin and I hunted hard for 3 or 4 hours on opening day, in southeast Washington, in excellent pheasant cover and with zero competition from other hunters. Oh, and we had my 5 year old GSP. Guess how many birds we shot? One! And we missed one. That was it. And that's all the shooting we got. So I would like to know where do you hunt where they are so easy that they get slaughtered? I have to admit, in a good year we do better than that, but it's never easy. Last year really sucked.
