You sure can tell who lives in pheasant range on this thread. Could be wrong, if that diagonal stick thing is standing in for an upraised long tail it sure is attached at a weird angle way low relative to the body, the two darker shades for the back of the pheasant’s head are mirrored by other darker shapes elsewhere. Right below those two dark shapes is that dark eye spot, russet cap right above adjacent to diagonally pointed up beak.... But.... if it’s a pheasant it a pheasant, doesn’t have to be as richly colored as the dead one in the other pic, several subspecies were released at different times and all interbred.

Sun coming up, sitting at the kitchen table having a cuppa, it would look like the alfalfa field next to the corn was marching. Look down a row and the bottom was almost filled with shucked and shelled cobs.

I knew they were there from the calls- I grew up in NoDak pheasant country. On day a rooster flew across and landed in my yard. Th Lab had no idea what it was (it wasn't a grouse or duck), but wasn't taking chances - he stood on the deck and barked at it. It WAS tasty! The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

He worked for Green Giant as a field rep. to growers. He had access to some amazing pheasant hunting. I hunted with him a lot, so many birds. Great times. In those days, this area was a pheasant Mecca. Those days are long gone now. With all the pivot sprinklers, there's just no cover or winter feed for them. Also, they've propagated the raptors. We now have hawks of every size around here. They have to eat a lot of them. The price of fox skins went in the toilet, fox depredation combined with multitudes of hawks have knocked the heck out of pheasant numbers. And with all farm land locked up and posted, there are few places to hunt pheasant around here. I doubt the I'd game dept is stocking many birds these days. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
