Default saw an endangered bird today

looked out the window of my truck today while heading into town to get some arrow shafts to assemble on these cold winter nights.
First I didn't believe my eyes but a quick second look and I darn near drove off the road. Right there, in a cut grain field stood one of the most endangered critters in these parts...a male pheasant. Must be a survior from a gun club stocking this fall. As I do not believe there are any wild birds left in this part of Pa

Saw a bald eagle on Saturday. Come to think of it, I've seen more bald eagles this year than pheasants. Uh, think that ever would have happened?

I live in Ohio, and 20 years ago, it wasn't unheard of to kill a limit of pheasants. Ten years ago, it wasn't out of the ordinary to kill a few during the year. Now a days, you're about as likely to see a black bear in Ohio as you are a cock-bird.

It's a damn shame, too.

I saw an astonishing 5 pheasents about 4 years ago while small game hunting, but they flew up infront of us at about 80 yards and flew onto private property. This year I have actually saw 1, and that was walking to my treestand in the morning. It was standing in the middle of the road, I went back pheasent hunting near there and not a bird to be seen. Go Figure. Pheasent mmmmmmmmm mmmmm good!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)
