Tips On Being Successful In South Dakota Pheasant Hunts

by Minnie Whitley

One of the most well loved hunting activities would be pheasant hunting because it is actually quite challenging and it can actually bring dinner to the table. Now if one is interested to go on <A href="http://www.theorchardlodge.net">South Dakota pheasant hunts</A>, he has to make sure that he actually knows how to play the game well. Now if one is a beginner and does not really know much about the hunt, then here are tips that may help.

Now if one would really want to go for it, then he first has to do his homework on this kind of bird. The very first thing that he should know would be when the pheasants would come out from their homes. Now the two best times to hunt for this bird would either be really early in the morning like dawn or late in the afternoon like during the sunset.

After doing some research, one now must prepare the equipment that he will be using. If he is a beginner, then the best gun for him to use would be a twelve gauge shotgun because it is actually quite easy to use. Once he perfects this, he may try to use a twenty gauge shotgun as this packs a little bit more power and is usually used by seasoned hunters.

After he has done his homework and prepared his gun, then the next thing that he must do would be to train his hunting dog for the trip. Now the very first thing should train his dog to do would be to remember the smell of pheasants. By doing this, the dog will be the one to smell the target and lead the hunter there.

After teaching the dog how to sniff the bird, then the next thing it should be taught would be how to retrieve the bird. Now the smell of the dog will help it detect the dead pheasant. Once the dog has already detected the bird, then he just has to run to it and bring it back to the hunter.

Now the best places to look for pheasants would actually be near the streams because this is where they would mostly go to. Now if one cannot find any pheasants there, the he should try near the crop edges or anywhere near borders. These spots are the favorite hangouts of pheasants so one will most likely find one there.

Now one very important thing to remember is that these birds are very sensitive. Once they feel or hear danger approaching, they will run into hiding in a split second. It is for this reason that the hunter has to know how to lead them out into the open.

Now in order to do this, the first thing that one should do is to fire in the direction opposite from where the bird is. Upon hearing the gunshot, the fowl will flee from that direction. If the hunter knows which directions he fires in, he will eventually lead the pheasant out into an open spot where he can shoot the bird.
