2023 Pheasant Hunting – Week 11 Recap
This is the week 11 recap of the 2023 pheasant hunting season. We saw lots of hens but very few roosters which is typical of last season hunting.
Our dogs are a big part of our life. They are a part of our family and a constant source of entertainment, especially since there personalities are so different. Based on their breed, they are intelligent and high energy. They require exercise and mental stimulation or they will figure ways to occupy their time, which often times is not desirable. They are also hunting dogs. For three months of the year they are working dogs, willing to run all day in search of pheasants. They love to hunt.
