First Upland Experience!!!

[HunterMcBuckKiller]

Had my first upland hunt on Sunday and it was for released pheasant.
Spent about four hours walking the corn fields and rivers edge and managed to bag 4 of those roosters,
These ditch chickens are delicious when cooked right and fun as all get out to hunt!!
The old man who runs the farm joined me with his dog and watching her work the field and river bank was most of the fun. I may have been bitten by the upland bug... It was a hell of a time!!
Now to find a good breeder and start training a dog of my own so I can get into the eastern part of the state to find wild ones.

I didn't question his hunting methods or attire, after all, I was the rookie and he was the master. I did think the same thing when I first met him as well though. Maybe incase i got a pheasant over head and it came crashing down...

Congratulations on your successful upland hunt and bagging those pheasants! Upland hunting can be truly addictive, and training your own dog for it sounds like a great idea. Enjoy the journey into eastern state hunting for wild pheasants—it's a fantastic adventure!

What is the price tag on one and what part of Idaho. I live out in ID and definitely can't wait to get into a house by this time next year..First thing I wanna do is get a dog and leaning towards a GSP.

The price isn't bad for 6th gen GSP purebred I've seen them up to $2,500. Let me know if you end up pulling the trigger. would be cool if our dogs were from the same litter.
