tucker301 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 There's nothing so satisfying as the sound of 12 lbs. hitting the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty or death Jr. Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 I love that sound, I just find it more challenging to shoot a small fast flying bird then a larger slower bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm going to have to say Greenheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfoot Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I think GWT are the most fun to shoot just because of the wads they usually bomb in. With that being said, once the big honkers lock up I start drooling into my call rendering it and myself useless. There are not too many things that get me like that...

split arrow Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 my favorite bird would have to be the woodie or the canadian. but then i like to shoot at anything that comes flying by my blind (if it's legal!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL_Waterfowler Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Greenheads of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaduckhunter Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Any thing that flys by and is in range. I like them all but I would have to say canadian geese and mallards are my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'm going to say Ducks, (greenheads), pheasant and geese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I just got my first chance to shoot some pheasants last Saturday and it was a bunch of fun. Given the fact that about 200 farm-raised, grain-fed birds had somehow escaped from transport onto land leased by our hunt club, I can honestly say that it was truly a "shoot", and not much of a hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMAC Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I too did my share of Pheasant hunting this last weekend too, but these were planted a month ago over a vast area which gets quite a bit of pressure. The birds actually get pretty smart once they get pushed enough, and for the first 3 hours we went birdless. The last 30 minutes was awsome as we found a dozen of them all holed up on one small little 8 acre parcel where we shot 4 roosters and kicked up at least 15 hens, for a minute I thought I was in SD instead of WI. Lots of fun, and good work for my Lab Tread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 There is a Pheasant Farm up here in Peshtigo that I frequent after waterfowl season is over. They pose no real challenge as opposed to ducks or geese, but it's still trigger time, and a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty or death Jr. Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 I guess we all have been doing a bit of pheasant hunting. My dad and I went yesterday. He shot his second pheasant ever. That the only one we got but we had a great time. Went goose hunting with my brother the other day. He got 3 ducks and 2 geese and I got 2 geese and 2 ducks. It was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMAC Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Likwid, Which Pheasant farm do you go to? I live in the Green Bay area and often drive to Lena and hunt the 5 corners property; it gets a lot of pressure and I often run into other hunters. I am always interested in other places near by.

Likwid Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 2C's Game Farm in Peshtigo. I believe it's on Hale School road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdkidaho Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 My favorites are the ones I hit. Other than that, I'm easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bear Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I gotta say shooting snows and blues are the greatest enjoyment even though anything legal with feathers turns my crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chessie Dog Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I would have to say that I really like hunting Canada geese, but anything with a band on it is cool. Just got back from Lake Mattamuskeet, NC and a friend shot a banded Gadwall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seneca Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Canada geese. Fun to hunt and if you get just one you still have the makings of a terrific dinner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seneca Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Likwid, What's with Wisconsin? I've always heard it's a sportsmens paradise. Not enough ducks and geese or is it a highly restricted season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
