The Chinese Ringneck Pheasant was brought to this country in 1881. Twenty-six common Ringneck Pheasants were propagated and released into an area known as the Willamette Valley in Oregon by settlers. Since then every state has attempted to establish a pheasant population. The pheasant has fit well into ecosystems and has if anything helped the environment in which it lives. The pheasant population peaked in the 1940’s with the agricultural practices of the time greatly contributing to the well being of the birds. As time progressed however much of the pasture and field edge that the pheasants relied on was cultivated and turned into crop ground. Such happenings caused great decreases in the pheasant populations toward the end of the 1960’s and early 1970’s. In 1985 the Conservation Reserve Program was put into place. Land put in the program is not farmed and is used for conservation purposes. It dramatically increased the habitat for pheasants. Today 30 of the lower 48 states have established pheasant populations. Many states supplement the natural population with farm-raised birds. PricingPrices subject to change during the season.
