First year in Alaska. 40 miles up the Nowitna. 50 or more willow Ptarmigan on every bend. Seen 100 a time or 2. Haven't seen a Ptarmigan on that river since!

Pheasant hunting was incredibly popular in south central and southeastern PA The first several hours on opening day there was non stop shooting going on everywhere within hearing range .

Suits me just fine for the last 40 years, with many thousands of rounds through it. I remember the old days (early 1970s) in Adams County, Idaho, where between my older brother, Pa, and I, we ended the day with Valley Quail, Huns, chukars, pheasants, mourning doves, white-tail jackrabbits, mountain cottontails, green-winged teal, mallards, pintails, wigeons, snipe, Canada geese, and ruffed grouse. Fourteen species; I didn't write down the total number of birds we had. Jack Some of my best days hunting where the times spent with family and friends just covering the countryside and hunting for whatever happened to be there as we hunted from one place to another .When I was working a trapline I was most happy on the days I had a mixed bag of fur And the same way with small game hunting . My goal when I was small game hunting was to let my feet take me where they wanted to go And be ready to shoot when the opportunity appeared .
