Have A Thrill By Going Wild Pheasant Hunting

By Jerri Perry


There are all sorts of things to consider when you go wild pheasant hunting. The first and most important is your gear. The second thing to think about is the location. There are many other details to keep in mind too, in order to have an enjoyable and successful hunt. Safety should be at the forefront of everything you do.

Safety is a priority no matter what kind of hunt you are on. If you are shooting fowl with shotguns or water buffalo with a high caliber rifle, the damage can be equally devastating to the human body with a misfire or accident. Keeping your weapon on safety and making sure that it is only taken off when ready to fire is a great way of beginning to think with safety in mind.

Hiking is a much less "equipment intensive" hobby and requires much less equipment than going on a hunt. All you need, really, is weather appropriate clothing and good footwear. Like going on a hunt, it also puts you into wild habitats. You can "arm" yourself with a camera and treat it much the same.

The location of your hunt is also an important factor. Make sure that it is an area that you know or that someone you are going with knows. Getting lost is easy if you get turned around enough and if you can't find your way out, someone else will have to take the time to find you. Time is valuable despite what you need and putting people out is never a good feeling.

Knowledge about the area that you are in can be a great advantage to have as well. Knowing the terrain is a benefit because it will allow you to find the suitable habitat quickly and efficiently. It will also provide you with the best ways in and out of an area without getting too far out of the way.

Fishing is a great way to make use of the outdoors for peace, quiet and solitude while still having the ability to bring something fresh home for dinner. There is, much like going on a hunt, a certain amount of expense that is for gear. Once you have that covered, it is as simple as showing up and casting a line into the right fishing hole.

Also make sure not to take more than the legal limit. If you do that and get caught, you'll get fined for every one over that you've taken. Fines can add up very quickly and if you don't have the extra money to spend, it can get quite expensive.

Whether you are wild pheasant hunting or are looking for big game, the fundamentals remain the same. Safety is the first and foremost priority. Knowledge of what and where you are hunting is important as well. Keeping a good head on your shoulders is essential to making your hunt successful.
