Pheasant Hunting In Alabama – The Preference Of Many A Wing-Shooter

The South is famed for its many opportunities for the avid hunter to be afforded some great opportunities to enjoy a passion as old as humanity – hunting. In states such as Alabama, which is renowned for its choice of hunting lodges to attract hunters and wing-shooters from far and wide, visitors are offered options.

Among these are some really great ones where the hunter and wing-shooter can expect excellent treatment by management and staff, and where they will be offered great deer herds and excellent upland bird populations from which to choose. In terms of wing-shooting, visitors know that quail, dove and pheasant are among the best choices. Therefore they arrive from far, out of state, and also from abroad.

Some lodges offer excellent bird populations, which prompts the hunters to return year after year. The same is true for whitetail deer which are often a favored animal, for both their meat and antlers, and the satisfaction associated with a trophy.

Leading lodges in Alabama and other Southeast destinations offer wing-shooters and hunters great opportunities to hunt these sought-after buck and birds. Good lodges make sure they can offer the visitor the complete package, which is a choice of quality deer and birds found on a well-run piece of land. This means the animals are found in a habitat ideal for their species and for their numbers. This is achieved when good management principles are in place.

The wing-shooter looking for good quality pheasant to hunt, will certainly find Southern lodges where these birds thrive. Leading lodges go to trouble to ensure their customers have a great time, leave with the maximum allowed n umber of birds, and return the next season. In North America, and therefore in Alabama, pheasant hunting is limited to the ring-neck variety of which there are abundant coveys in certain parts and on specific lodges where systems are in place conducive for the wing-shooter to encounter them in their numbers.

These birds thrive in weed patches, in grain fields especially, in grasslands and meadows and at the edge of woodlands where they enjoy good cover and are still free to move around in the type of habitat suited to their nature. They also feed on berries, fruits, insects and crops, so where these are found, chances are you will be rewarded.

At good lodges guides help find the shooters the best spots where these birds are known to keep. Hunting over a dog is the preference of many a wing-shooter, which is the ideal for the pheasant shooter. Therefore customers often take their dog on such trips with them. These dogs help to flush out birds for the hunter. Popular choices are, for example, Springer Spaniels and Labrador Retrievers which are excellent at serving. Pointers are equally popular.

Pheasant shooting, as is the case with other upland birds, relies for its success on the availability of good coveys of pheasant. This means ample birds in a habitat where you expect to find them. When these birds are given the opportunity to thrive in ideal habitat and conditions, they grow into healthy birds that remain at the top of the list for many a wing-shooter.

In the South there are lodges where these birds are found in abundance, often because of the efforts of land- and lodge owners to promote those principles that will help grow abundant numbers. Pheasant hunting is, much like other forms of upland hunting, an activity that enthusiasts look forward to for many months, and which they cherish. Therefore they will always look around for the best lodge where these birds are known to be found, throughout the country – and certainly in the Southeast in a state such as Alabama.
