My son Tristan is 11 years old, while getting his hunter ed card last summer he was lucky to have found out about a youth pheasant hunt put on by Pheasants Forever. He was taught gun safety and field of fire and bagged a chuckar and pulled feathers on a rooster while passing on three hens, I was extremely proud to watch from 20 yards behind as he and the field guide worked to teach him valuable lessons. He is totally hooked but now wants to go on a real hunt, I have only hunted big game for nearly 20 years but loved pheasant hunting with my dad when I was young. Two big problems we do not have the budget to pay anyone to hunt and only have the walk in access maps to have a clue where to go.
We have a birdy field golden retriever but with little training.
I work 7:30-5 pm M-F and coach on the weekends so our only day to go is this coming Monday, but are planning to leave very early and have the entire day.
Any advice is very much apprieciated,
Chris and Tristan
