Extended Pheasant Season

[Roosterslammer]

Now you have till February 22nd statewide to hunt pheasant. Still roosters only in designated WMUs and rooster and hen hunting in the others.

"PHEASANT: Male only in WMUs 2A, 2C, 4C, 4E, 5A and 5B – Oct. 26-Nov. 30, Dec 16-24 and Dec. 26-Feb 22. Male and female may be taken in all other WMUs – Oct. 26-Nov. 30, Dec. 16-24 and Dec. 26-Feb. 22 (2 daily). No open season for pheasants in any Wild Pheasant Recovery Areas"

May as well hunt them. We had 12 roosters around here after the season was over, all in a bunch. Most ended up fodder fer avian predators, I'd guess.

Saw 3 of them in February, standing in a winter wheat field, that was all of 3 inches tall. Gosh, the amount of habitat Lancaster County has is incredible. LOL
