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.
Pheasants were wildlife in N. PA by the 1950’s. They would burrow into knee-deep snow in the woods and wait for us to step near, then blast up in front of our faces like a landmine.
