Yes, we do have pheasants in the county. Well at least the ones we raised from chicks. It was exciting watching the little chicks grow over the summer months. Now as we head into fall the anticipation of releasing them grows more and more every time I have to buy a bag of feed. They all have their adult feathers, and are a very beautiful bird (hope they taste as good as they look).

In total, we released 43 pheasants. About half were hens and half were roosters. With luck, we will see them around the farm for the remainder of the fall and early winter. That is if they stay away from the road where we live. In hunting season it becomes I-95, and I know every truck passing by would not hesitate to put a few in the game bag.
