No sense getting in an argument over an understanding of what you said husker, I took it the same way as topgun did. We now understand. I grew up in the heart of pheasant country in PA and what I saw was incredible and if I never shoot another pheasaqnt, they don't owe me a thing. Now our pheasant hunting is shot. PF is doing some work of reintroduction of wild birds on CREP land but we do not have the thousands and thousands of acres enrolled like you folks do and while I applaud their effort, I am not hopeful I will ever see wild birds like I did in the 60s and 70s, actually I am sure I won,t. I must now be content to hunt stocked birds so my setter will have some fun. I envy your good pheasant hunting out there. A couple of friends went to Plentywood Montana several years ago and had a ball.
