Saturday pheasants

Did a little bit of mid-day scouting and then hunted those spots, about 40 minutes south of our hotel. We ended up killing two more pheasants, for a daily total of three. We also hit one additional rooster, but it was lightly wounded and ran into a cornfield and we were not able to recover it. 

We principally targeted field edges, fence lines, and some cut cornfields. Winnie and Maggie handled the pheasant hunting tonight and both did a good job. Winnie did very good job pinning a running pheasant in a field of standing sunflowers. She first pointed, then it ran, then she circled around it and cut it off and repointed - causing it to hold long enough for Dan to come in and flush it - but it was a hen...

We are now headed back to the hotel for a shower and dinner. I am anxious for both! Tomorrow we plan to hunt ducks on the same private property we hunted on Thursday with our pheasant location TBD.
