RE: hunting preserves!!
I just hunted a game preserve here in Northern VA yesterday. We only hunted chuckers but we had a few stray Pheasants from one of the previous hunts.
Preserves are ok, but if your used to huntin wild quail and pheasants out West, it's a little dissapointing. It's like being used to skiing the Mtn's in Colorado and then trying to ski the man-made snow in the East.
But, it sure beats chores around the house!
