By Jeannie Chapman


Wild pheasant hunting has been done for many years. It is one activity that is useful in the formation of new friends and strengthening of already existing ones. For effective hunting, one would need some skill and knowledge. Not many pieces of equipment will be required however, something that makes it even more popular.

Choosing the right spots is very important and is an important consideration.

One of the most important components to consider is a good map that displays public recreational land. Most of the states have online facilities that help in finding best locations.

Areas that are close to buildings, highway or livestock are not the best options. Areas that are unreachable due to rivers or lie within restricted zones need to be avoided too. Places that have crops on adjacent lands offer a guarantee that pheasants will be there.

When it comes to the clothes used, they need to be comfortable as much as possible. This is especially so because one may have to walk very long distances and through heavy cover. In addition, the clothes should be able to provide enough warmth. Walking should be done slowly in a way that the birds can be viewed clearly. Dogs are also able to sniff around.

Hunting without dogs would offer some difficulty. The animals are able to track and find the birds with ease. Even after birds have been shot when they are in the air, it will be difficult tracking them down without dogs. Hunting should be done into the wind for better tracking.
