Awesome!!! Forgot how pretty they were!!! The great pheasant hunting around here ended in the early 80's. Never really recovered after the blizzerd and the change in farming practices was the end of it!!!! Thats one of the good things about being old is that i was around back when the first day of rabbit and pheasant was a excused day off from school and the weight of cock birds and rabbits in the game bag was a great load to carry!!!

Congrats on your wild bird!! I have a job where I am lucky enough to get to see more wild birds then most, but that explosion of wings never gets old. It's a shame our state spends thousands upon thousands of dollars raising and releasing pen raised birds that will never make it, when that money could go back for incentives for farmers to create better habitat for wild birds on their land. Glad your little one got to see what a wild pheasant looks like, that's more then 90% of our youth here in Ohio can say I am sure!!
