How to Approach Pheasant Hunting Upland Birds Hunting
Jack Patterson approached pheasant hunting upland birds hunting with the same confidence that made him such a great pharmaceutical sales rep. "So far it's not been too bad. I especially like tromping through fields of corn in pursuit of game birds. The bunch of guys I hunt with are great to work with too."|

"Especially early in the season when crops are still standing. I unleash Jake and we're off." If you would like some of the row crop ideas Jack uses read on. For starters crop stubble dotted with weed patches makes ideal cover for a solitary rooster or two. |
While you want to avoid hunting row crop fields on windy days late in the day hunting, or early morning, is almost ideal.
Using drivers is a good tactic. If you've got a smaller group of guys, focus on edge rows. Pushing the birds towards posters in the corners.
Drivers should walk into the wind. Doing so makes it harder for the birds to hear them. While making it easier for your dogs to pick up the scent.
Run any middle flushers a few yards behind of those on the edges to funnel the ring tails to the middle.
Posters should never shoot low flying birds. Too much risk of having another hunter in your line of fire.
When doing early morning pheasant hunting, upland birds hunting, these are some ideas you can try with corn or other row crop fields. Like Jack you may find they produce better than average results.
