We are farmers who live in Eastern Montana. We captured a picture of all these pheasants right outside our window today and thought we would share it with you.

Do you farm them, or are they fake...hmm...i wonder...

These pheasants are very real. This new picture is right on our lawn. We live in an area of Montana that has a lot of natural pheasant habitat which provides a large pheasant population. We enjoy watching them so we put out food in the winter that brings them up close to the house. We often see deer out our window too and have fun photographing them. If you would like so see more, we can e mail them to you.

All I can say is oh my god. Oh wait, I can also say that hopefully I will draw a deer tag for montana this year and was planning on bringing my shotgun anyway, so what is your address?

We live at Bloomfield, MT a small town of 5 about 30 minutes north of Glendive, which is in extreme eastern MT. Here is another picture from our window. It doesn't fit the subject heading here, but to be PC, we really do need to give the deer equal time.

Dang that is a lot of birds!

Here is another pheasant picture out of the north window of our kitchen. This one is very unique in that one rarely sees pheasants sitting in trees in our area. The camera was not able to capture the whole tree row but all together there was well over 100 pheasants in the trees. Sorry the picture has to be so small to fit in the message. It really doesn't do justice to the birds.

WOW!! I would love to live on a place like that. That is a ton of birds.

This picture is of a group of hunters from Washington. They got these birds in two and a half hours of hunting. They were happy; and I was too....they brought me a gallon of fresh oysters....maybe not the best trade--pheasants for oysters, but here in eastern Montana we have lots more pheasants than fresh oysters.

I am from Idaho, would trade pheasants for potatoes!! LOL

Just kidding, I grew up on a farm, we have pheasants, but not like it used to be. Alot of people are wondering why. I am not sure if it is because farmers are keeping weeds clean from along ditchbanks and this is less cover for them. Also less people trapping and shooting coyotes/foxes. I do see more hawks around too. After this winter its going to put that much more of a crunch on the population as the pheasants were on the rebound from 3 mild winters.
