- I suggest this only as a possibility. Some farmers, particularly
- those that know you, will let you ride on the combine; the last 5 acres are
- ripe with pheasant, and if you work this out with the farmers beforehand
- you can ride and shoot at the same time.

- It has worked for me, but I usually drive the combine.
