Pheasant Hunting  Tips



• Pheasants choose thick cover such as tall grasses for resting, so you can find them in these areas.

• A dog is essential when hunting for pheasant. It will locate birds that “hold tight”.

• Any breed of dog can do the job, as long as your dog works closely and carefully listens to you, and is not too active - running too far in front and flushing the birds too soon.

• Most hunters know that by quietly and slowly walking “back and forth” through the field, the birds are flushed or they move ahead of the walkers offering blockers on the other side of the “cover” a shooting opportunity.

• When hunting on large areas like corn fields, "blockers" are necessary. Because pheasants can run very quickly, “blockers” or hunters who are positioned at the other end or side of the area can shoot the birds as they break from their cover. “Blockers” compel the pheasant to hold much tighter therefore blockers and walkers both have more “shooting action”.
