NY doesn't really have self sustaining pheasant populations so they stock em I am lucky enought to live within 20 minutes of 2 areas where they stock em. Today was my (and my dogs) second day at pheasant hunting. I went out en the am with no luck and got tired orf kugging my 12 gauge Mossberg around, stopped by a friends house and BS'd awhile. On the way home stopped by the the gun store and wound up buying a Benelli pump 20 gauge. and stopped at the State land on the way home. Long story short bagged our first Pheasant with my first shot...
