The Pheasant Hunt
by Lindsey Kiser
Many years had passed since I had been able to pheasant hunt like I used to do with my immediate family with my mom, dad, brother, and Springer Spaniels. Although I made the time to continue shooting five stand and sporting clays in my twenties and thirties, life has rearranged itself dramatically so that I’m in a position now to return to my passion for upland bird hunting. I suppose it started when I adopted my first Brittany Spaniel, Holly, and then fell in love with her brother’s owner. The four of us now hunt as often as we can, whether for grouse, chucker, or pheasants. I composed the scene of this watercolor painting from multiple photographs that I took while hunting pheasants in rural Kentucky. The tall native grasses were perfect cover for the introduced pheasants, which gave our bird dog pups a chance to learn how to point for our upcoming trips west to Iowa and north to Michigan. There is nothing quite like the rush felt when these beautiful game birds take flight.
