My first hunting experiences were hunting pheasant in rural Illinois where I grew up. I now live in Texas, north of Dallas. I would like to do some pheasant hunting but wouldn't have any idea where to go or get back to it. I don't have a dog (and didn't in Illinois, I just walked fence lines and kicked up birds from likely cover in morning and evening hours). Is there any good public pheasant available? What kind of outfitted pheasant hunting is available, ballpark costs, what facilities (dogs?) are provided?
