			Wonderful photo!   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	And I agree, western PA has some of the toughest cover to work that can be found. I hunt pheasants here in SWPA with my Springer, Finn, now in his 8th year and he is a tank. Multiflor rose, red briar, switch grass and crab apple thickets are where we find birds once they see some pressure they can become quick learners.  |

			Planning on getting a Pa license this year, I live ony 15 min from the Pa border and within an hour of quite a few game lands. Pa also has a long season, even though they dont stock then, there is always a chance of finding a wylie survivor.

			You are lucky to not get much snow.  I was looking forward to the last two weeks of grouse season but 30 inches of snow is just too much for me to trudge through.  Drove past a pheasant stocking area today and nobody hunting.  Not surprising I guess.  Anyway, glad to see you and the little guy had a good day.

			many thanks to the Pa. game commission. Had a great time this year hunting the pheasants released by the state with my four year old Brit. Although often criticized by some, I found the birds to be in great shape, good flyers and a challenge especially after they been in the wild a day or two. Almost reminded me when I started the long-tailed birds over fifty yrs. ago in the the lehigh valley area when native birds were available. Sad to say not no more, but the state birds now suffice.
