Pheasant hunting is the most common form of upland hunting. Found primarily on the ground in heavy, protective cover, upland birds must be hunted in pheasant hunting clothes that are as tough as that brush.
The most common upland hunting clothes are of sturdy, traditional cotton canvas construction. The cotton canvas is the classic upland hunting look and it is brush tough, tried and true. Most upland clothing is made from cotton canvas or similar dense weave, non-snag fabric. Pheasant hunting pants must should be of the canvas type or tougher for the upland bibs and pheasant hunting bibs must bust through the brush to flush and retrieve game.
Many upland hunters use dogs to assist in locating, holding and flushing upland birds. The sport is to attempt to take the birds in flight by shotgun once they have been flushed. Wing shooting is another common name for this style of hunting. A successful shot and retrieve means a bird in hand. Many upland hunting jackets feature a rear bird bag and a more recent upland coat feature the front loading of game which makes it much easier for you to get the game into the bird bag on your jacket.
