Just west of Gettysburg along the river. It was not a problem to limit out 4-5 guys in 20-30 minutes this year. Absolutely unbelievable at times. We also hunt on a place just north of Winner, but we never went down there this year....didnt really have to :)

Yeah, this year was the best it has been in a long time. There is 1000 acres of public walk-in just to the north of our place that is pretty much all tall grass so the pheasants got good breeding ground. Not many people hunt it because it is mostly river breaks. IF they do hunt it, they just push alot of them onto our section of CRP a quarter mile south of the walk-in. Most the time we never even make it to the CRP. We have a 1/2 quarter of grass/weeds/plum thickets and a couple dams right around our house that seems to stay pretty loaded :)

That last picture wasnt the best, but there is about 10 roosters along that weed line if you zoom in. Here is one I got off my game cam.
