Good day chasing NH Pheasants

[john pulis]

We were up in Pittsburg hiking, shooting clays, and visiting friends WE before last. Flushed some grouse and a few pheasants but no woodcocks. Snow flurries and some 20 degree mornings. Leaves long gone but pretty country around Lake Francis and the four Connecticuts.

Yes Dean, Pheasants in Pittsburg. There are two stocking sites in Pittsburg. They get stocked just before the October 1st opening day, and then on two more times the following two Thursdays. I was 15 miles up Indian Stream Road one October just about 5 miles from the Canadian Border when I drove up on a Cock Pheasant standing in the road. Up in that country he had enough predators wanting him so I let him walk off into the brush. I do not imagine he made it to winter I was on the the NH Fish and Game Commission when we voted to expand the stocking of Pheasants to Northern NH. We had received lots of complaints from residents because the had to travel south for the opportunity to hunt pheasants.
