MT Pheasant Opener

[Nemont]

Headed out early to get in the field by shooting light. We had to just about honk the horn to get the pheasants off the road so that we could park. We were done with our 6 birds fairly soon after the season opened.

Here are a few pics.

I am glad I don't have to ride one of these around in a circle

The birds.

My dog, the birds and an old green machine

This guy is a great hunting partner but cannot pick a decent hat to wear.

Unfortunately I was the one that pounded the immature rooster in the middle. I still am catching flack over that one.

Had plans of hitting it again Sunday but it started snowing Saturday night and would not quit. We had 13 inches of the stuff.

Here is what my yard looked like at lunch. So no hunting on Sunday.

Way to go Nemont. Looks like a fun hunt.

Instead of the snow we got rain here which the way it was pouring was enough to keep me home in bed on Sunday. Saturday was a great hunt with old friends. Man, I do love pheasant hunting!

That green machine is state of the art over in your part of the world!

Great job on the roosters Nemo. Did the snow bring any ducks or other fowl with it?

Nice work on the ditch parrots.

You know far behind the times we are out here in "west Dakota"

It doesn't seem to be moving much in the way of fowl down this way. Instead of waiting birds here I am heading up to where the birds are now. I am going on Sunday and will have a report back to you by Thursday of next week.

Really looking forward to hearing about your Canada trip. I will have to slum it in MT, so push a couple down this way.

I keep saying every year that "next year" will be the year that I go to Canada, but it never happens. My bro-in-law just came back and had the best trip they've ever had up there (this is their 8th or 9th trip).

Will you be targeting anything specific?

 

[Nemont]

Will you be targeting anything specific?

Not any specific species. Talking with the Outfitter it sounds like alot of snows, specks and ducks. I am wanting to get a good day of snow goose hunting in. Other then that I just am spending time with some good guys and for the first time doing the outfitter thing.

Should be a good time.

Looks like you had a good hatch,way to take advantage of it.

Great job on the pheasants. Glad to hear they did alright this year.

You aren't taking that Harlin guy to Canada, are you?

Good luck!

Great pics Nemont.

Fun start to a long season.

Nice stringer of roosters. Don't feel too bad about killing that young one, there is a chance the snow and cold weather would have anyways.

 

[Nemont]

You aren't taking that Harlin guy to Canada, are you?

Nope he is taking me. I blame him for getting me into this bird hunting thing.

Very nice!!! Don't know about the hat, but the bird hunting looks okay...

Better watch that guy. He has gotten more people buried in this quagmire of bird hunting than any person I know.

You guys will have a blast, but please leave a few for the migration.

Waiting for pictures.

I will take lots of pics. It is a good thing Eiden is coming along to keep Harlin in line.

Nice photos, Nemont. Lots of snow...I'll bet folks wish the rifle season was open.
