Any of you folks need fresh Hungarian Partridge skins? We have a flock of about a dozen hanging around our bird feeder each day. Check'em out.

Great to see them.We still have a few quail here and there but pheasants are all but gone due to coyotes,hawks and farmers having no incentive to leave much cover if any.Any pheasant hunting is now on state preserves and private hunt clubs.All pen raised but the private places have much healthier birds.When i was a kid we did not have to go far outside the city and kick up lots of birds.You really did not even need a dog they were so numerous.Last pheasant i shot cleared a tree line before going down and landed dead in a Mc Donalds drive thru with a line of cars with families.Was pretty awkward retrieving that bird.That farm was sold that year and a pond we had stocked for years went with it.My friends pay 10 a bird for pheasants and 5 for quail and you can hunt thru March.Like fishing for stocked trout or catfish in a pay lake but they get to work their dogs at least.

love that McDonalds pheasant story ;-)

over here in CO the planted pheasants are $25-35 per bird, minimum of 10. So it gets a bit expensive. The wild populations get smaller every year, between droughts and the irrigation ditches being replaced by underground pipes. One of my someday dreams is to go hunt the Dakotas or similar where you can see more than one bird in a weekend (if yer lucky)..

I've seen Huns once or twice on canned hunts, typically vanishing into the far distance..
