    Ok, I've got the Red Head combo Gen 2 remote control, and I have the Primos Jake you have pictured in your video. That decoy will also accept the Gen 2 remote motor.
    I have two Flextone hens in different poses, but I intend to start with the Red Head combo (Jake has a real fan given to me for that purpose) alone.
    We'll see?

    Awesome video mate 💪🏻 probably a silly question but how popular is pheasant hunting in the states?

    • @SCTraditions
      @SCTraditions  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Very popular out west around Nebraska, Kansas, etc. In my state, however, not at all. It’s too hot and hilly for the birds

      To answer your question...Pheasant hunting hugely popular, especially in the Mid-Western to Western states.
      But not in the sense of drivers pushing birds toward shooting stations, but folk and dogs walking the cover to flush birds on their own.

      Popular enough so that in our regions that wont support a wild pheasant population the Department of Natural Resources pays for large farms to raise birds and then stock public hunting lands with them. In my area , northern New York, the birds are released, 2 days later season starts with 2 days of hunting them by 12-16 year old youth hunters. Then us dads get the excersize of going after whatever is left and hasn't fled the area.

      I live in a Western state. Our Spring hunt goes April 15 - May 25 on average.
      We can kill two bearded Turkey's during the Spring season.
      But our Fall general season is August 30th - November 30, and the limit is a real doozy. The daily limit is the number of tags you have in your possession each day of the season. In other words, if you bought 10 tags each day for the 90 day season in my area you could theoretically kill 900 either sex Turkey's in the Fall hunt!

      State regs,
      Daily Bag and Season Limits
      Daily Bag Limit: The maximum number of turkeys that may be
      legally taken by any one (1) person during a calendar day:
      • During spring seasons the daily bag limit is two (2) male
      turkeys. A legal turkey is a male turkey or a turkey with a
      visible beard.
      • During fall seasons the daily bag limit is equal to the number
      of valid tags possessed. Either sex turkeys may be taken during
      fall seasons.
      Season Limit: The maximum number of turkeys that may be
      legally taken by any one (1) person during a season:
      • During spring seasons only two (2) male turkeys may be taken
      using a general or controlled hunt tag before May 26. A legal
      turkey is a male turkey or a turkey with a visible beard.
      • During fall seasons a hunter may harvest as many turkeys for
      which they have legal tags in that calendar year.
      • Note: Any tags purchased and filled during the
      January 1-31 season will count against the tags available
      for subsequent spring and fall seasons within the same
      calendar year.

    When exactly is early, mid and late season though?
    Spring season ends here May 19th. but I plan on going out this weekend 4/27.
    I have my eyes set on a massive Tom that frequents the same cove every morning, I just have to lure him closer.
    Thanks!

      It really depends on your climate. Look up your state’s turkey breeding season, they divide it in thirds. That’s how you can get early, middle, and late seasons
