No Dak, Opening Weekend of Pheasant Season

NORTH DAKOTA

The season opener didn't disappoint. This trip had many firsts. The first time the a/c was needed during the hunt, the first time to pheasant hunt in a t-shirt, the first time my shotgun malfunctioned and became a single shot, and my first sharp-tailed grouse (of 4) and the first time our group brought their own dogs. There were lots of birds, great food and wine and great deserts.
Grouse hunting is a special type of hunting and the badlands is the perfect backdrop. You earn every bird you get and each one is special.
