I couldn't tell you, I was a teenager at the time and I didn't have to venture very far to hunt and I was still learning, I could walk to places that had pheasants back then. As a boy I can remember one occasion of seeing a hen pheasant with a brood of chicks in a neighbors yard. The number of stocking sites in the seacoast of NH has declined tremendously. I have a childhood memory of sitting in the car while my father was getting some groceries at Dan's Star Market on Central Ave in Dover and watching a man and his dog flush and shoot a pheasant where Dover Bowl and the strip mall next to it stand today. Imagine that or imagine shooting pheasants right behind Wentworth Douglas Hospital, which you could into the mid 1980's.
