kvnmcwebn 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 sorry to steal the post but are there many on here that take pheasants with their dogs? if so is it mainly the collie crosses that are good at it? My beddys jumped on a couple of them now but they've gotten away. Is there any tips or tricks to hunting them with dogs or is it just luck and catching them in heavy enough cover? Quote Link to post
