Why You Should Hunt Wild Pheasants With Us

Mankind has always hunted. In the beginning our search was for food. Today we still take meat, but it is the remembrance of our time afield that sustains us. For the wild pheasant hunter, the pursuit of wild ringneck pheasants offers a magnificent opportunity to create lasting memories, one of the few things a man can possess that can never be corrupted or stolen, and which become more precious with the passage of time.

True hunting, truly keeping in touch with the natural world, cannot be accomplished on a preserve or in a situation where game is provided by a man-managed source, regardless of how authentic a manipulated environment appears to be. The birds we chase during our Kansas wild pheasant hunting in the fall and winter are a testament to Darwin's theories. They have survived the fox and the coyote, the eagle and the hawk, the thunderstorms and the drought. They are the best of the bounty from a bountiful earth and a worthy challenge to a man or woman who understands that hunting is, and always will be, a fundamental part of our nature.

The English springer spaniels that participate in our hunts are, in a way, survivors as well. Since the first wild wolf came to sit in the flickery shadows of a fire, lured by the smell of roasting meat and irreversibly drawn to the two-legged creature that would become his master, dogs have been man's partners in the hunt, and have evolved with him.

The gun dogs we use in our pursuit of wild pheasants are the best that modern training and generation upon generation of careful breeding can produce. When we use their instincts to our advantage, dogs' senses, abilities, and skills allow us to interact with our natural world in a way we cannot on our own.

During our Kansas wild pheasant hunting experience, our dogs are wonderful companions because they understand that our partnership is a joint one and we each accept the roles we play on the team. We hunt with our dogs. Our dogs work with us. The result is a form of art that satisfies and pleases both participants.

Art in all its forms is inspirational. Long ago the hunt sent primitive man to his cave wall with a charcoaled stick so that he could record and better remember his hunting experiences. Later, tribes told their tales in dances and oral histories cherished and passed down through generations. When modern man developed literature he filled it with themes and references to the hunt as our scribes and scribblers continued the attempt to capture and hold in words moments and hunting experiences the hunter knows to be ephemeral.

The insights provided by our Kansas wild pheasant hunting experience today, with flushing dogs pushing wild pheasants into their powerful flight, can be just as lasting as the memories our ancestors sought. Afield, we realize that hunting is elemental and offers a too-scarce modern experience in which we can focus on a single goal and exalt in a rare moment in which our skill as hunters is equal to the instincts of the wild pheasant we pursue. We hunt to capture those moments in memory.

We hunt for many reasons. We hunt to challenge our bodies, to put our boots on good, honest earth. We pheasant hunt to be afield with our companions, understanding that nowhere else will we know them so well. We hunt to appreciate the craft, skill, joy, and art of our magnificent flushing dogs.

We still hunt for meat, for wild game, for wild pheasants – which we find in numbers – but we take home much more. We take home the memory of having hunted. And those memories are why we hunt.
