MtLion,
The two pics with the big line of birds were shot on a preserve in March of 07.
I usually don't pay to hunt, but about two to three times a year I go to a hunting reserve for dog training purposes.
It just keeps their heads in the game until fall.
That particular hunt eight of us bought 100 pheasants and we killed 67.
The area we hunt is right in the middle of great pheasant hunting ground and is a two mile area with tall CRP so it's anything but a canned hunt. The birds run and fly really well and it's a great training tool for the mutts.
All the other ones, including the pic of the birds on the white pickup, are wild birds.
