I was with 4 other guys and we joined some other groups when we got there.
There was also a hunt on the land adjacent to the land we were hunting. It was a fee hunt and they had brought in pheasants
to "stock" the fields I guess you could say.
The hunters on the adjacent land had started hunting just a little before we did.
I guess nobody told them to flush the birds so they would stay on that land. They flushed most of them onto the land we were
hunting right from the get go.
Needless to say, we had plenty of birds to shoot and everybody had their limit by about 11 that morning.
I never knew if I was eating a "wild" pheasant or a "stocker".
I never will forget that hunt and it always comes to mind on opening day of pheasant season.
