There are not any wild ones in this area. These were pen raised birds at a preserve. I would not have a clue where to find wild birds other than up north. I do want To go to Kansas or Nebraska and hunt wild birds one of these days.

Some places in the panhandle no longer have wild bird populations due to the change from gated-pipe irrigation to pivots. There's little natural cover along fencerows now, and they are almost impossible to get out of the CRP land...they just run away...even from the dogs.

That has to be a great sight to see a bird fall out of the sky using a bow. Congrats

Great shooting. I thought a Texas pheasant would be a lot bigger.
