So, I was born after the hay day of the 60's and 70's when wild pheasants were common in PA. So I never got to see what Pennsylvania "wild pheasant habitat" looked like...
Here are some photos of where I hunt pheasants. For those of you who know what "wild pheasant habitat" in Pennsylvania looks like, does this area look good to you?
Basically, the open field areas that are connected make up about 200 acres. That is surrounded by timbered hill sides. I guess 200 acres isn't enough to support a naturally reproducing pheasant population. But, if the pheasants cut through anywhere from 100 to 300 yard strips of timber, they can connect up with more areas of fallow fields and even some agricultural lands...
So, do these photos look like good pheasant habitat? Will pheasants cross 100 to 300 yard strips of timber to utilize more areas of more pheasant like habitat?
