    Preserve recommendation

    I have been going out west for 30 straight years hunting pheasants and because of very poor reports for South Dakota, will be staying home this year. My buddies and I still would like to get out and work the dogs and wonder if anyone has a recommendation for a pheasant preserve. Thank you, John
