J - Couple of guys from work and me are heading to Miles Standish this coming week. Should check it out, supposed to be a pretty nice area for birds

My wife and I went pheasant hunting for first time. Started in Norton, MA on WMA land with friend, his son, and their bird dog today. Got one rooster, crowded and not a lot of shots today.

We then went to our club in Somerset and got two more. Good day, good weather, and had pheasant for dinner tonight.

One more week of pheasants in MA.

chances are you saw my vehicle today if you were there before say 10am, if you were where i think you were going by your post. if a vehicle made you either laugh or put you in shock - it was me.

it is always busy there with way too many people for the space/birds. i was out deer hunting - no luck yet. there were plenty before the pheasant hunters, myself included, started blasting away this year. once pheasant season opened they dried up, i have to find them again.

I was in the far left corner of the lot, black F-350 parked by our friend in a yellow old Ford Ranger regular cab. He had a brown and white English Springer Spaniel. There were only two others in the lot at the time, we got there at 5:40AM.

Were you the Scooby Doo VW Van Major Boom Boom?? I saw it pull in, in the dark and I saw the light come on.

I skipped the last bow day to go pheasant with him, his son, and my wife. We can't go next Saturday and he is working all week. We might go Wednesday afternoon with his son and his dog, the son is about 14 years old and does all kinds of hunting.

Looks like a good deer area. We were in the tree line at the farthest field at one point and I saw two stands. If you know the path to the bridge, we had not sniffed out any birds and we got down to the point where I sighted a rooster on the ground in the woods. That's the one I took out. The only one there.

We bumped into some people met at a Friends of NRA banguet and they have hunted with our friends. Bumped into a member of ours from Mansfield Fish & Game who had better luck Wednesday.

I was down there yesterday as well, between 4 of us we managed to get 4 birds, although the dog got one, and 2 of them we were in some heavy woods out there.

[DCunniff]

The one I got in the woods the dog had not scented. We had been walking near some water and I saw it myself.

Lot of happy hunters getting out and some birds were taken.

yep that was me...lol i went into the fields as soon as i got there. i think i remember seeing a car or two but i wasn't really paying attention. i was running late due to a friend who didn't show up.

they stock that every mon, wed and fri. nights. i don't know how many they stock but the mornings after, which is tue, thur and sat., the lot is filled with hunters and dogs bu the crack of dawn. i don't have a dog so it just makes it too hard to do pheasant for me, i did get one this year though.

yes i know the bridge. before you get there, in the little area between the field and the actual spot where the bridge is, i caught 5 does on camera. i also caught a couple of bucks later on in an area close to that. but when the pheasant season started the deer moved out. i was there today moving the camera to a different spot, hopefully i found them again.
