I'm a little upset since i had to back out of my bird club this year. I just won't be able to afford it this year. So i'll have to go back to hunting state land. I haven't hunted state land for the past 3 season and i am not looking forward to it. The only good thing is that we are going to have to really hunt for the birds now. I guess i'll be exploring Clinton, Peaquest and i may try and find Black River.
Back to pheasant hunting state land this year.

I don't think any of the WMA's are bad at all if you try and steer clear of other people.

Welcome to that club! Been there for a few years now.
Retired!
Ithaca10, you must be real old.[ko][ko][ko]
Where abouts do you hit the Flatbrook area? I'm up there M-F from Nov thru Dec. Usually hunt the fields on stocking days unless there are way too many. If so I go down past the range a ways and hit the "less traveled" areas.
Usually get my birds w/o issue.

63 and still going and here's the kicker usually hunted the fields where Russell Spinks used to live, you guys know of him. Than the pines across the street and later in the day the thick stuff where the bridge has been washed out(for the last ? years) that crosses the flatbrook.
My uncle steve now in his early 80's had his picture taken up there by the than Newark News for harvsting a white ringneck.
I'm familiar with Russel Spinks and know the pines you are talking about. Chased a few roosters up that "hill" last season.
The bridge, is that the one just in from the Cty garage that's been out?
I usually hit that swamp later in the season when it's frozen. Holds lots of birds.
It's not bad in January too. [up] But they're tough with the dogs and I can't imagine w/o one.

I started hunting Flatbrook in 1967 with an Ithaca 37 and still use it as a slug gun now.
I'm 66 and the old man in the NJOA[wallmad][rofl]

Howdy fellas I am a new member here.
I will hunt state lands myself. Cept for maybe a few trips to Bent Creek when the money is there. I am retired with a new GSP pup. Gonna start out in Greenwood openin day (no crowds) then hit Colliers Mills after the first assault is over lol. I know CM well and can avoid the riff raff and know were the birds end up.

How about those Rockport Rockets they had at Whittingham this weekend Ringneck!!! Some of them were HUGE and had some serious tailfeathers. Biggest spurs I've seen on youth day birds in as long as I've been volunteering to help out. Sounds like the $40 pheasant stamp is gonna be a great investment this season if all the birds are that nice [up]
