First, I didn't go pheasant hunting. I was working on Saturday and took my mother to church on Sunday and then to town to eat and go shopping. So this is the few things I've heard from others.

It was pretty windy Saturday. My younger brother said that the less experienced pheasant hunters with him weren't leading the pheasants enough and weren't taking the wind into account when shooting.

The wind was much less on Sunday (the windmills on the state line were barely turning) and the hunters seemed to have a better time of it.

One local said that he saw more pheasants Saturday than all of last season. I don't know if he had any better luck hunting them in the wind.

My dog, Whiskey, hates the sound of gunfire. According to my sister in law, he spent the day on her front steps.

The guys that came in for this weekends hunt should all have sore shoulders this week. We shot a lot of birds and saw a bunch more. We also shot quite a few ducks too for their combination hunt.

I would say one of the best years ever for birds.

Limit both Saturday and Sunday.

Lots of birds (Perryton)

In general, more birds than most years - but, where we hunt we have more than ample birds every year....

Another opening weekend and lots of fun.

Eric - I referenced you over on the outdoor board, but I had you as a 98er and not 76er! sorry. Too bad you couldn't go pop a few birds this weekend. Can't wait to go back over Christmas.

my brother was out last weekend and said there were a lot of birds. they all hit their limit both days. my dad was at our place between silverton and tulia this week and said the birds look great.

Will be in Dimmitt this Thursday - Sunday with four buddies, very excited can't wait.

good combo duck/pheasant hunt sat. and limited the guys out on pheasants sunday.

Went pheasant hunting this past weekend in Dimmitt and it was cold. There were still pleanty of birds but they have been pushed some much already that they are spooked now and fly up to far in front of you now. Still had a good hunt a good time.

Group limited out again on Sunday this weekend. It took an hour and a half to get done. Duck action was really slow though.

a Great pheasant year!!
