How do you guys keep pheasant from eating all your corn? Damn things are like rats when the feeder goes off. State says I can only have 6 in the freezer. Should have left them all in China.

I think you need to eat the 6 you have and put 6 new ones in there.

Thats simple. Our north neighbor shot 3 deer for 2 guys opening weekend of gun. then invited another friend up second weekend to try and kill more. Pheasants are like deer. Unlimited resource. Keep shooting them and they will keep showing up.

Looks like a well used 870. Is that on your fenced property or a different place?

Birds like the free feed and lack of predators. Shit ton of pheasants in there. Pheasant preserve 2 miles away. Woodcock everywhere when they migrate. Bought the 870 when I was 16. 36 years of abuse.

I have a 25 year old 870 that looks very similar. Great guns.
thats cool you have good rooster numbers. That's rare in most places in Mn. Do you do anything to draw in roosters to your place?

The pen doesn't have a roof. I would bet they are still state owned birds as they can come n go as they please. Bat, do you see bird fly into the place? Or just out when you push them.

This is one of the benefits that I didn't anticipate when I turned my place into a farm. With Predator Guards for the owls, along with the fence, the small game at my place has exploded. And man do I love shot gunning cotton tails in the snow!

Easily remedied. Call your friends and family and give away your pheasants. It is on them to come pick them up. If they don't show up, and you're left with 20 or 50 of them on ice at your place, it's a simple matter of ungratefulness on behalf of your recipients.

I do miss the pheasant hunting of time gone by. My dad and I would shoot from a handful to a dozen pheasants on a trip through the corn....or while road hunting in those times. While road-huting is frowned on today.....I can remember shooting down the corn rows.....and taking as many as six roosters in a single shot. Those were the days my friends.........we thought they would never end.......
