Not many, but my dad was heavily involved in pheasants forever several years ago and put about 30 acres of one of the farms into a crp program. Back then there were a few wild birds, and there was also a local friend who ran planted bird hunts out there and a few of them managed to make it. Now there are a couple adjoining farms that have also enrolled into the CRP program (maybe 150 acres). By no means is this area a pheasant Mecca but I can usually go out and at least get an opportunity. Two of the birds in the pic were birds I bought and planted, just so I knew we would have something to shoot at. The other was a wild bird, we also seen one other wild rooster and 3 hens that morning.
