Wasn't able to make it out for the pheasant opener this year, but will be heading out to my old stomping grounds in three weeks near the Snake. Was wondering what the general consensus was for the opener. Lots of people, birds (hopefully more than last year). I'm guessing CWU girl was out and about. Any reports out there?

Opener was good. Two of us flushed about 15 birds on Saturday of which about half were hens. We bagged one rooster.

This was in some of the more remote spots of the Winchester Wasteway as the morning was crowded at the easy access points.

Yep, I was out for the opener. I hunted Saturday from sun up to about 1pm when the temperature climbed over 80 degrees. It was too hot to run the dogs and uncomfortable for the humans too so I called it a day.

Anyway, I hunted private land SE of Moses Lake. My dog flushed about 25 birds. I flushed far more hens than roosters, but those roosters that I saw were well feathered and pretty smart for the opener. I managed to shoot two and may have had a chance at others, but my dog (1.5 years old) busted a bunch of birds far out of range.

Overall, there seems to be as many roosters as last year, but far more hens than I've seen in the last 5 years. Hopefully that'll mean better seasons to come.

Curtis, don't you know the bird hunter's golden rule?? "always blame the dog!"

My BLM pup is actually very good for his age, but as with any teenager, he's prone to get little airheaded from time to time. :p
