A fascinating pheasant hunting

Pheasant production is one of the most interesting activities for many hunters . Hunting for a pheasant is carried out using a variety of inherently ways. But, indisputably, the most interesting way remains the extraction of this game with the use of a dog. In the framework of this article, we will try to find out the features of this lesson.

In the morning it is better to look for a pheasant in weeds and various thickets, but closer to dinner or in cloudy weather, it is in thickets of reeds. A dog's search for a pheasant in weeds on plain terrain is not difficult. The dog walks through the thickets and expels the bird, which can often be seen from a distance, it remains only to aim and click on the hook.

But the hunt for a pheasant in the thickets of reeds, often located near reservoirs, in beams, is of special interest for hunters. The bird comes to the water at the Lenten time to quench thirst and rest, here and the hunter should wait for it. Bad weather forces pheasants to hide in reeds. Sometimes a bird lurks in thickets, stained with snow, where it is difficult for the hunter himself to go, not to mention the dog.

In cases where very thick reed thickets are present , the entire result of hunting directly depends on the effectiveness of the actions of the dog. Her ability not only to run near the reeds and try to smell the smell of a pheasant, but also work "on cane" is of great importance. This means that the hunt for pheasants is carried out by a hunter (a group of hunters) walking along the gully next to the reed beds. An active search is entered by a dog in the thickets, practically without leaving them. Finding a pheasant, the dog drives it away, and the hunter (hunters), allowing the bird to fly off for some distance, shoots over the reeds, hitting the target. This bird is sometimes unexpectedly driven by a dog tens of meters from the hunter and closer. Snoring and reaction speed in such cases have a big impact on the outcome of the shot. The distance to the shot bird should not be very large, since the dog will long to seek game, and as a result it may not find it at all.

A bird search requires sharpened attention from the dog and the hunter, because the pheasant cock can be inspected, while a group of others will drink water. Not at the right time a frightened bird can be missed. And anyway, specially trained dog should have a lot of skills of hunting game, be hardy.

When pheasant hunting is carried out, it is recommended to use fraction number 7. A larger fraction can riddle, and even break the game into pieces, which are difficult to find, and they do not really represent values. It should be borne in mind that the pheasant is a pretty hardy bird, which, even if killed in several parts, can fly many kilometers.

Pheasant hunting in Ukraine is quite popular now. This is due to the fact that in the country the bird is a relatively new type of prey, after all it was brought there later than mid-twentieth century. It is this that enhances the interest of hunters, there are even whole communities of them who have experience in the production of this game.

But when hunting such a magnificent bird you need to remember about the need to preserve and multiply its population, and therefore do not exceed the shooting limits.
