3/11/07 J & G Preserve in Hackettstown, NJ
http://www.jgpreserve.com/ Myself, MikeP, and Frankie (one of the best bird dogs ever) hit J & G Preserve early this morning. It was a beautiful morning. We had geese flying over us... and saw some turkey in a field. Oh yeah... Frankie also found some birds for us. MikeP - 1 cockbird, 1 chukar Dragthor - 2 chukars, 1 missed chukar (he was going 100 miles an hour... LOL) Frankie - 1 hen, 2 chukars... he ran them down while they were in the air...and jumped up and snagged them (sticker bushes did not slow him down either... LOL) We also put up another cockbird... but he flew way too low to shoot... Frankie was on his tail. .JPG)

I know they have some good birds, because I have bought birds from J & G.

mpemt24 - I think George (the owner) is low on pheasants this time of year for some reason. However, on my way out I noticed plenty of chukars. __________________ |

Drag, is he adjusting his rates if there are no pheasants? __________________ It isn't the catch or the kill that makes for a great outdoor experience but enjoying all that God has created for us.

Dragthor - 2 chukars, 1 missed chukar (he was going 100 miles an hour) Nice shooting Dragthor. We hunted some of George's chuckars at the club today and they were flying better than the pheasants. Quote:
but he flew way too low to shoot... Frankie was on his tail I think the pheasant are starting to molt, so they are not flying as well. Quote:

He's out of pheasants for this year so he's getting them for somewhere else, that's why they aren't flying as well as they normally do. Although, we did watch another guy miss one and that bird must've flown 200' high and gone about 1/2 mile.

Hey Drag... figured I'd hijack your post with some Pheasant pics of my own.  We downed 17 Pheasant and 19 Chuckars yesterday morning. These are the Pheasant I took home.__________________ Dog's on point... get ready!!!
