was talking to a guy who just came back from south dakota the other day. He had a group of pheasants running ahead of him keeping out of gun range. He had a varmit call in his pocket and for some reason or another took it out and blew it a few times. He said the pheasants stopped running and hunkered down for cover, and they stayed that way long enough for him to get a shot or two off. Never heard of this before - anybody??

That is a new one. Try this, when approaching a dog on point, sail a hat over the birds. They will hold better. Must look like a bird of prey to them.

I have done that for years red tail hawk call works best.w/regards

Hawk call will freeze Chuker in their tracks. Though not too long if the dog is close. But long enough
