Eycee1 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) So went out to Spring Farm in Sag Harbor today with a few buddies and had our first pheasant hunt!! It was a blast, it was incredible watching the dogs work and moving with them flushing birds. We ended up getting 16 pheasants!! And spent the rest of the day cleaning the birds back at the house and cooked one up to enjoy our harvest!!

turkeyfeathers Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Color me stupid but thought season didn't open yet? What's limit on pheasant? Never hunted them so I'm naive to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eycee1 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 lol yeh the regular season doesn't open until Nov at the stocked DEC fields. Springs Farms in Sag Harbor opened Sept 1 and I think birds unlimited opens Oct 1. Def an experience worth giving a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I did that at Liddo"s one time,it is lots of fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Its a preserve. No season. Preserves are controlled by the Dec though you aren't required to hold a license, Sept 1 is the opener and it typically goes until March 31 but can be extended to April 15th.

ants Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Good hunt!! I use to hunt pheasants like a mad man. I loved folding one up after the dog really worked for i, and then watching the dogs excitement. I got out of it, years ago, when I started to really get into bow hunting and the seasons conflicted. Your post really makes me want to get back into it. Congrats.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had a bird dog because I plan on hitting the stocked field's across the state once it opens!! Do you still hunt pheasants? where do you usually go?

Culvercreek hunt club Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Preserves are controlled by the Dec though you aren't required to hold a license, Sept 1 is the opener and it typically goes until March 31 but can be extended to April 15th. Although any I have been too requires that you had the hunters safety course or held a license at one time. I am sure that is insurance driven.

diplomat019 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 i see you live in LI. Like 3 years ago my wife got me a pheasant hunting trip for christmas (catskill pheasantry....awesome fyi). We were living in queens at the time. Me and my buddy went and i was hooked. I promised myself that when i move out of the city and get a house I'm was gonna buy a dog. So fast forward 3 years and a son, BOOM bought a house and got me a GSP. Dog is a little over 1 now. I love it. I live in Dutchess County now (make the daily commute to nyc everyday), so I hunt the local stocked land around the area. I did some rabbit hunting with him last year and plan to do it again, plus go for grouse this year too. They stock in LI too. how is it? does it get hammered? I was thinking of doing a trip to LI with my cuz who is in queens as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eycee1 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/9349.html Nice!! i would love to move off the island!! Dutchess isnt too far from me at all. yeh I heard catskill pheasantry is awsome I may book a hunt there soon. I havnt tried any of the DEC stocked field's yet but I plan on hitting alot of them this season. Here's a list of the stocked release sites in NY. Would be easier with a dog if you wanna team up for some pheasant hunts!! Any excuse to get myself off the island! Would love to get in some rabbit and grouse hunting also!!
