Some wily Roos.

[Theekillerbee]

Finally broke my streak of not killing a wild rooster in Utah in probably 20 years. Had a chance to hunt with some friends, and we scraped up a few birds. No real young birds, which means in that area nesting conditions weren't all that good, but I'll take the big birds any day! Was a great morning to be out. We saw about 10 or so roos, but only 4 were in range. They all happily met their maker.

Nice! so mission accomplished!
You didn't miss anything out in the swamp,we killed eight ducks and hunted all day. would have much rather hunted some pheasants. [] Though! I got a beuatiful drake widgeon that was to shot up to mount but he was the nicest one I have ever shot.

Very nicely done!! Sure wish there were more of those around, I grew up hunting them with my dad but for most of us those days seem to be over unless you go to a farm. Beautiful birds though and full long tails! Dad used to take those and stick em in a 30-06 shell with some sticks and that was my favorite toy to throw around. I'm jealous. Good job!

Right on Tony. Glad you guys got a little shootin' in. Looks like that storm left a few hours early. I'm sure you'd have done much better if it wasn't clearing up.

I love hunting phez, but they are few and far between. It was my favorite hunt as a kid. By the time I was old enough to hunt, they were really on the down slide.

Thanks man, them roosters sure are nice. I may have done a little better my spot is not so secret anymore and there was someone setup already half way out and two others came right threw are decoys throughout the day.[:/] Time to go exploring again, I got a spot I don't think anyone but me can get to but it's a 30 minute boat ride then jump a dike and down a canal to the lake. guess I will see.

I also grew up pheasant hunting we had a great dog named lady that would amaze everyone that hunted with use. I miss them days watching her work,I was very young and it's been a very long time. glad you where able to find some wild ones and I bet your dog was fun to watch get them.
