Colorado Pheasant Hunting in Prime Style

from: Maxx Sports Guides



When you think of Colorado you likely think of high mountains and big game hunting. But only a few dedicated bird hunters realize that Colorado is also a great location for pheasant hunting, as well as quail, chuckar, and partridge, all of which are available in 40 or so private hunting and shooting preserves.

Additional opportunities include sporting clays, dog field trials, and dog training to upland bird hunting. An hour from Denver you'll discover Colorado pheasant hunting, with excellent cover and ring-necked pheasants that give well-trained pointers and flushing dogs the chance to work the pheasant habitat and solitary fields. Centrally located, pheasant hunters from the nearby states of Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah utilize the finest of bird hunting.

There are 49 species of ring-neck pheasants, all but one are still found in Asia where they originated. The most popular bird in Colorado pheasant hunting is the Chinese Ring-neck pheasants, one of four pheasants in North America. This bird's durability has a lot to do with when it senses danger, it prefers to use its legs to run away since it can't sustain flight for any length of time.

Adapted readily to wild life, they're prized for their brilliant colors and ability to fly well, even though not for a long duration. Living in a habitat that consists of wetlands, grassland, brushy thickets, and the woodland, the Chinese Ring-neck pheasant is ideal for Colorado pheasant hunting.

Most states that offer pheasant hunting, only allow a few male birds to be bagged daily, and it's near impossible for a few hunters to work a large field of corn, soybean, or alfalfa. For the few numbers of pheasant hunters, it's a better strategy to work grass fields, field edges, or fencerows.

However, if you're hunting during the midday, pheasants will seek the ditch banks and even deeper into the marshes -- if the weather is bad, the pheasants will work deeper into dense cover. Regardless of the weather, all pheasants begin to move in order to go to their favorite feeding areas in the late afternoons, as in the early mornings, which are the favorite hunting times.

Nevertheless, some hunters who like the solitude of Colorado pheasant hunting can find the quiet and isolated field edges to hunt, along with fencerows and small weed patches. But if the area hunted is of standing cornfields, large waterways, cattail marshes, or other similar areas -- then it may be extremely difficult for one hunter to cover the ground area.
