Non native is invasive there is no escaping it. Pheasants compete with native plants and animals.

I'm not against pheasants, I love hunting them and have killed and eaten hundreds of them. I am just against everyone looking the other way as if they are not invasive species.

3 yrs is about all a pheasant gets. Most die in 1 year. Very rarely do they die of old age. Predation, hunting, extreme weather, mowing machines all take their toll. Oregon’s Willamette Valley is where they really started in America. Fun fact pheasants, like dogs, pant to keep cool. Cackle doodle doo! Keep yer powder dry and run em to me.

Agreed. The game is just to get enough hens to survive till spring to replenish.
