Default RE: Pheasants out our Montana kitchen window

Not to belittle your offer because I DO enjoy a good ID baked potato; but I think I did better trading oysters for pheasants LOL I understand what you mean about the farming in ID. I have friends that farm in the treasure valley. Their farming is so intense it leaves very little room for pheasants. Here is eastern MT our farming is small grain which pheasants do very well on. They use the small grains for a food source and the adjacent habitat for nesting and cover. Portions of Eastern MT are unique in raising pheasnts because here much of the land adjacent to the small grain fields isn't farmed because of its topography. Typically, 20% of the land is not farmed in this area which allows for natural bird habitat.
