When pheasants were king

Looks like a blast Aeon but I fear they would make Carne Asada out of me if I venture south o' the border.

Great pics but depressing to see how it is compared to the ol days. That pic with you and the Gent in camo, was that taken on the Onyx ranch or is that San Jacinto?

That's San J in 1992...You used to draw ressies like waterfowl hunting...This was the Monday opener.

Awesome times Steve. I saw a few fields with roosters last time out in the valley.. gonna check them come dove season to see if there's still a couple around.

Great pictures

My Dad hunted them in his back yard in Pasadena when he was young.......
Luckily Baja still has lots of birds, some years better than others. It really depends on cover, crops and when they harvest in the spring. This year sounds good with a late harvest of winter wheat.
The valley had a good hatch and should hold some leftovers too.

The IV depends on the cover in the ditches and fallow fields from here on out. That salt cedar as much as it sucks it's great cover for them to hide from predators.
Keep the fingers crossed!
