Hunting & Fishing Any Other Beak Busters Here?

[Idaho Savage]

Per my "newbie intro post," I'm somewhat new to rifle hunting but a longtime bird hunter. Any others here? Personally spend a lot of time scouring Idaho for pheasant, quail, chukar, grouse, huns and I do a lot of waterfowling, too. Just curious if there are other bird hunters around.

Lots of doves, quail, and a few ducks here too. Love the fall/winter hunting for winged table fare.

That and groundhog hunting are by far and away my two favorites. I like to shoot more than I like to hunt. Both go hand in hand. That and my first job being at a trap club always led me to shooting things out of the air.

We don't have the game birds like some places here but ducks/geese and especially doves are a blast.

Well, I really like to chase roosters in SD. Turkeys here and there! Quail in MO, AR and Kansas. Ducks where ever they are from here to Canada! Really planning on a Montana waterfowl/upland adventure with some PD shooting in case of!

Cut my teeth hunting pheasants behind my parents farm some 20 yrs ago. Not too many pheasants in Illinois anymore though. In 2 weeks I hope to get my first turkey in Nebraska.

Duck, geese, dove and quail my entire life. First duck when I was 8 and never stopped.

Ruffed grouse behind my German Shorthairs. It's like combat bird hunting as you are always in the thick stuff, usually stepping over, under or through some big sticky bush when they flush.

It's no gentleman's game.

We also love chasing pheasants, chukars and woodcock around here.

Too much fun and GREAT for the dogs!

A few "stoke" shots for all the beak benders.

A hybrid green brain/sprig shot this year. He's on my wall now, known as Freaky Beaky.

I try to put my English Pointer and German Short Haired Pointer to work every fall. Often split upland bird hunting and predator hunting up throughout the day.
