I now live in the area that used to be a pheasant haven back in the 60 and 70's.


Now there's a Christmas wish... a Pennsylvania Game Commission that had some brains, and put the interests of the hunters who fund them first. Once they permitted the killing of the hens and began protecting many of the predators who feed on pheasants, the decline was quick and inevitable. The PGC blames it on everything else but their own mismanagement.


A friend killed one in PA a few weeks ago and the thing wouldn't fly even after doing every thing he could to get it to fly. I had one in front of my truck and got out to see if it would fly, nope, just ran off. I just waterfowl hunt now a days for good reason.
