Deer, turkeys, yeah.
But has anyone seen or heard a pheasant?
Pheasant are starting to come back here in Iowa. Numbers are still very low. Nothing like when I was a kid 50 years ago.
Yes, in Pennsylvania in the early ‘70’s. My dad had to stop the car because we were on a rural back road at a lake, and the damned things wouldn’t get out of either lane. There were six or seven. Dad could have sent them spinning off like bowling pins - they didn’t seem the least bit concerned about two tons of real, Detroit-built Chrysler station wagon. I gotta admit, they are pretty birds. And tasty.
