Default Pa Gameland Pheasants...

Stocked or not....the Merlot spent 6hours busting azz, and obviously, for these two....Flushed others, but it was a hard day for a little Dog in some nasty thick cover...

PA does a great job raising birds. Big, strong and good flyers! Nice day afield.

Wonderful photo!
And I agree, western PA has some of the toughest cover to work that can be found. I hunt pheasants here in SWPA with my Springer, Finn, now in his 8th year and he is a tank. Multiflor rose, red briar, switch grass and crab apple thickets are where we find birds once they see some pressure they can become quick learners.

Great picture! Yes the PA birds are great.
Watched a couple fly a half a mile after flushing.

Planning on getting a Pa license this year, I live ony 15 min from the Pa border and within an hour of quite a few game lands. Pa also has a long season, even though they dont stock then, there is always a chance of finding a wylie survivor.

Perhaps one of the last hunts of the season...The Parker 16 is one I got from here and is turning into a favorite....



Bud and his friend made it a three man limit...Merlot is the only one that retrieves....so he got in some great work...

You are lucky to not get much snow. I was looking forward to the last two weeks of grouse season but 30 inches of snow is just too much for me to trudge through. Drove past a pheasant stocking area today and nobody hunting. Not surprising I guess. Anyway, glad to see you and the little guy had a good day.

It's a gift every time you can hunt with your dog. Merry Christmas!

many thanks to the Pa. game commission. Had a great time this year hunting the pheasants released by the state with my four year old Brit. Although often criticized by some, I found the birds to be in great shape, good flyers and a challenge especially after they been in the wild a day or two. Almost reminded me when I started the long-tailed birds over fifty yrs. ago in the the lehigh valley area when native birds were available. Sad to say not no more, but the state birds now suffice.
