That was then. This is now. Mountain ringnecks. Finally bagged my first roosters on Dancing Springs Ranch. Wildest, wariest pheasants I’ve ever hunted. Flush at 100 yards and fly 200 feet up and over a sagebrush ridge. I’ve seen them at 6,000 feet. I’ve done 12 mile days in SD when in my 20s. That ain’t happening here or now! #wily #wary #ringneck #pheasant #pheasanthunting #pheasantsforever #rooster #dancingspringsranch #mountain #wild #kimberfirearms #sidebysideshotgun #ronspomeroutdoors #uplandhunting #birdhunting
