A short rest during a mid-October pheasant hunt near Belt, Montana, with my springer, Chuff, imitating a wind sock.

    Just curious, I was in Winnett (MT) in the middle of October and found there to be far fewer pheasant than years past. How was your hunt?

      Oh my God, James, absolutely horrible! In two days–one at Belt, another at Geyser–my son and I put in 26 miles and each of us killed the one and only pheasant we had a shot at. And we saw NO Huns or sharps. Central Montana bird populations–at least on places I hunt–are the worst I’ve seen in 32 seasons. Let’s hope the winter is milder and the spring warmer in 2019.
