2025 Upland opener

I didn’t make it to SD last year. Wasn’t it an exceptional year? Hopefully will be a banner year.

It was good we haven’t got back to the peak years of crp but way better than a few years ago.

Here in PA our upland season doesn’t start until the last weekend in October which coincides with our muzzleloader doe season so I won’t be hunting pheasants until November. Only chance I’ll get to hunt earlier is if we buy and set out some chukars on our property to get some practice in.

I’m definitely looking forward to it, Cedar will be 2.5 come hunting season and she did ok on pheasants last year but she was much better on planted chukars. I think the main issue is that she doesn’t have much experience with pheasants and they seem to run a lot more so I’m going to try and get her on more birds this year. I just have to get better at getting her close enough to smell them.
