Many hunting strategies are successful for pheasant.
The use of both pointing dogs and flushing dogs are widely used. Experienced pheasants love to run and will do so even in the slightest amount of cover. As many pheasant hunters will attest, these birds are very crafty and often outsmart even the most experienced hunters on a regular basis. If a pheasant is wounded, every effort should be made to get to a downed bird as soon as possible. In just a few seconds an injured bird can run long distances and nestle into cover not to be found.
