Hunting pheasants in the early season can be a lot of fun. Even hunting pheasant on public land can be rewarding, but there are a few things that every pheasant hunter should know before hitting the fields. First, I never go on opening day unless the pheasant itch has me bad that year. However, going [...]

For years I was against hunting over dove decoys. I never really thought that a dove would decoy worth a heck. After all a dove isn’t really that smart. However, last year I decided that I would try every type of dove decoy there is to see what works and what doesn’t. I learned that [...]
