pheasants making a comeback?

[canadian hunter312]

today i was about 10 minutes southwest of brantford and we thought there was a crow on the road but then when we got closer we realized it wasnt walking like a crow and it turned out to be a big rooster pheasant. so we slowed down to about 20 because he was in no rush to cross the road and i look to the right and see 3 hens in the ditch.

do you guys think it could be wild birds or just birds from a pheasnt farm? a few minutes away from there i saw a hen and rooster while hunting.

Not sure what it's like out there, but I hope for your sake their wild birds.

Preserve birds that escaped. There are many places in Ontario, including a few in the Brantford area, where planted pheasants are hunted.

I used to duck hunt a pond that bordered a pheasant farm, needless to say we always got some pheasant to go with our ducks. Guys would pay to hunt them, and they'd fly across the pond and over our blinds....

A game farm didn't return my email for weeks, may be they fold and released the birds...

Right on! I've always wanted to hunt em but i think i need to try to do more skeet shooting to hone my skills before i try him.

I've saw one rooster north of Trenton in Frankford. That was the only one I living in Ontario. The turkeys are thick up there though.

I find as well that the best way to introduce pheasants into the wild is to wack them as soon as the escape from a game farm. Really insures a wild population like the turkeys???
