There are plenty of Cocky birds running around Lawrence
But I am not sure that I would shoot any, but you could go after them with your dog. :thumbsup:
Years ago I hunted a day on the public ground around Perry Reservoir (Jefferson Co.) north of Lawrence. Saw one pheasant. That area now has some created habitat with crop plots and shelter belts but I have not tried them. Douglas Co. is mostly rough and wooded with little crop ground - just not the type of habitat pheasants are found in.
