Pheasant Hunting

What do Maine, Texas, Indiana, and California have in common? Not sure? Okay, here's a clue: One of America's favorite gamebirds. Yep, pheasants. Not only do those four states have wild ringnecks, they have enough birds to justify a hunting season. So do others. According to Joe Duggan of Pheasants Forever, more than half of the states offer seasons on pheasants. Granted, some states supplement wild populations with stocked ringnecks, but contrary to what many think, there is great pheasant hunting beyond the borders of Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, and Iowa, which collectively form a kind of Rig Four. In fact, fantastic hunting-public and private-can be found in states that border them. Places like Oklahoma, Colorado, and Illinois offer darn good pheasant hunting for those willing to look for it. Even Minnesota, better known for its great grouse hunting and impressive whitetails, has about 1 million ringnecks and gobs of public land within prime pheasant range. And then there's North Dakota. Call them the "Forgotten Five" or any name you wish, but these states (among others) offer first-rate pheasant hunting.
