nothing better
than hearing the OOOOGH OOOOOGH of a pheasant in the crisp fall weather....
Larry if you think those are pretty good looking you
should see the chinese version...
and actually pheasants are a transplant from over seas
and were not native to America origionally..

Male pheasants are called roosters, not cocks.

They're called "cocks" because of the call they make when flushed |

I'm less than a quarter mile from there, looks like the same bird, at least judging from the crappy cell phone pics I have. |

We used to hunt those at the Dike at Hatches. At the end of the P-town Airport runways. Try thet now....
Ringnecks are a non-native species all are stocked. We called them with a small box of BBs. Sounded like the pellets that they were fed at the farm.

You are right that they are not a native species, they originally came from China. But you are not right that they are all stocked, they can and do breed almost everywhere in the U.S. |

Ditto tasty. Ringneck (male) pheasant are a pretty highly prized game bird. Easy to hit too - the opposite of doves.

The feathers would work well on the end of one of your plugs... 
They are tasty but not a lot of fat so they can dry out easy when cooking. |

Did you notice if it had a band on its leg? Most likely a "pen raised chicken". They have another name also but it can be taken as inappropriate on a family site. (search engines probably bring it up as porn)
