I raised 50 Ring Neck Pheasants for release when I lived in Idaho Falls, Idaho. They came in the mail in two boxes of 25 each. Not much bigger than a cigar box. Pheasants love watermelon BTW. I was a member of a retriever field trial club. We released probably 500 twelve week old pheasents at a family pic-nic day. 500 pheasents, kids and puppys way out in the desert. I don't know if it's widely known but Ring Neck Pheasants were introduced to the US by a foreign service officer serving in the Theodore Roosevelt administration. The first ones were released near Salem Oregon at what is now a wildlife preserve.
I live in Salem, Oregon. The best bookstore in the world is just 60 miles away in Portland........Powell's. But in poor, little, backwater Salam we have a bookstore that is worth a 60 mile drive....Escape Fiction
