You've not walked 5 miles for a shot opportunity and missed yet. Around here you'd jump em getting out of the truck in 1975....lol.
Modern farming sort of eliminated the bugs they eat and it got harder and harder. I've not seen a wild pheasant in years. They exist I hear them but seeing one is work.
I could break you of any desire to hunt upland game in a week.
Darren aka dickweed kept records. We shot 2.35 pheasants per hour back in 1980.
