Thread: Pheasant callers etc

Going to get out chasing a few roosters in the next couple of weeks in a pine forest down the road from home, but my dog is useless and would rather run around than catch a scent and flush. Therefore I'm on my own, seen plenty of birds around but always without a gun.
My question to those more experienced - are the pheasant callers that work like a duck call worth the bother, or should I just do the old walk and stalk? Any other tips or tricks for a young gun? Cheers
