You said pheasants are not native to the USA, but they have been here many, many years, and some are feral. I remember seeing some in my backyard when I was a kid. Momma pheasant beat the crap out of the neighbor’s dog, who was getting too close to her chicks.

Yep, some have gone feral and hunting them is worth the challenge. But all come from birds brought from asia in 1881. Started out west and have been moving east naturally and with farmed birds ever since.
