Default More Pheasants in NY

I have been very busy with work and family and haven't had much time to post. But, I have had time afield with Grayson, mostly released pheasants.

The early season birds were taken with my 0-frame DHE 20 gauge with 28" barrels choked IC/Mod or my 20 ga GH with 26" barrels choked IC/Mod late season birds were taken with my 2-frame DH 12 gauge with 30" Damascus barrels choked full/full.

Grayson is doing very well and the two of us make a formidable pair on the early-season pen-raised birds. There were a few opportunities at doubles and I managed to pull off one each with the DH guns.

Our last release was on Thanksgiving, and by now the leftover birds are quite challenging for both of us. Grayson has learned to handle them well and I had to learn (through great expenditure of ammunition with nothing to show for it) to switch over to the longer-barreled, tighter-choked, larger bore gun. It was interesting to switch over from a 0-frame lightweight to a 2-frame heavy-weight and it took some getting used to. The RST one-ounce shells are quite peasant to shoot through it.

Here's a quick wrap-up:
