Pro Tip #1: Find someone else to de-feather it for you.

Ive been hunting pheasant for a long time.

#1. Take clothing for warm and cold weather. It can be freezing in the morning but sweatshirt weather in the afternoon. Or your clothes can get wet.

#2. Bring items to clean the birds if you choose to do so in the field (not back at home). Items such as freezer bags, knife, sheers, 2 gallons of bottled water to clean the birds.

#3. Cooler to keep drinks in and if you shoot any birds a good place to keep them in once they are cleaned.

I've had a couple people point guns at me while dove hunting and pheasant hunting. People seem to lose their freakin mind when they see those birds. No clue why. So keep your eyes peeled.

If you are going to walk a lot of brambles, be prepared for your boots to take a beating. I walk a lot of nasty growth and they tear up everything but the kangaroo leather boots.

Make sure you can walk a long ways in whatever pants you are taking.

Get warm gloves that won't hinder shooting.

If you can't get on the birds with the right lead, go to 2,3,or 4 steel shot at about 1500 fps. Little to no lead needed.

Having something to hold the birds you have shot so your hands are free while you are walking and not having to worry about having a bird your holding.
