Ok.. so with the recent unluckiness of my eating twix bars in the woods while waiting for deer.. I'm going to try pheasant hunting soon (might as well, the license is good all year).

 

I think my Rem 1100 although heavy, would be the best gun I have. So the only thing I REALLY need to buy is a mag plug and ammo..

 

But I think i want either a Bird Jacket or Vest just to be cool.

 

Yous Guys got any recommendations?

ahhh this post cracks me up. Did I call it, or did I call it.

 

I'm all eyes and ears because I took want to get my fingers into this action.

wait what was the bet?

Yes - Home Depot has mag plugs, they're in the hardware section, they're called dowels. Cut to fit...

I use a Carhart Jacket which is perfect for the briars. I also like wearing bibs because it protects my midsection when I go through heavy stickers. I normally take the dogs in the bush while my dad shlupps along in the feild. And I use a Cabelas strap vest to carry my gear. It is nice because the last few years the weather has not been as cold and I tend to leave the jacket in the truck and use a heavy shirt and the vest.

Meh.. not worth it to me.. Dick's has the Remington plug made for the 1100 for like $3 or $4.. pop it in.. no cutting required.

What do you put your dead birds in?

The strap vest has a bloodproof pouch for birds and a few pockets for gear.

Ahh.. I got you. I'm thinking that's pretty much what I want to get.. something like that.

You need a vest. Lots of pockets to carry water in. Are you going to hunt over a dog? Then you will need more water and a very open choke for your gun if it is a pointer.

I have guys that go with us and bring mod. chokes then blow birds up when they pop a bird only 10 yards away. If you are just walking and flushing or have a dog that will just run the bird over and flush it. Then imp mod or mod will work fine.

 

You know if anyone has Weds off, the semi wild preserves run weekday specials. Trying to get a couple of people together to go out.

 

Just got the Garmin Astro GPS collar for my GSP, we have her trained to run pretty big and I found out just how big. She would get out about 250 yards at times, But if she goes on points she stands there and waits for you to come up and kick the bird out.

I hunt over gsp's and use IC choke and 1oz target load in 12 ga or my 20 ga with 7/8 oz 2-3/4.

No dogs, just walking along the cornfields and hedgerows on state game land in PA. My hunting partner recommends full choke and #4 shot.

 

Daily bag limit is 2 pheasant.

I stopped by Effingers, and was surprised to see they had a whole bunch of these for $25 so I'm gunna give this kind a try:

Man 4 shot is kinda big. I think 6 would be fine, Yes if you are walking around and taking sky shots you will have some distance to your shots. A light vest like that will do you fine, Since no dogs you will not have to hump a lot of extra gear.

4 shot is big, if you could bring modified choke with you.

Ok, I got the whole set of 3 that came with the barrel. I'm gunna try to get out and practice to see if I can hit some clays.

I use 6 shot, as stated 4 shot is a little large. Good luck with the vest.

alright.. plan is to go tomorrow after lunch.. (knock off from work early).. wish me luck.

got nuttin.. except mud on my pants and poked by thorns :-P

If there is no blood, it is not really hunting.
