Great article, but I think we're all better off NOT thinking about the price per pheasant.
Funny story- I save a tailfeather from each rooster I shoot (have done it for years) and put them in a vase on the mantle. It looks pretty good, and reminds me of my hunting trips whenever I look at it. I should post a pic...
Anyway, my wife took some tailfeathers out of the vase to decorate a Christmas wreath she was giving away. She casually mentioned it to me after she had taken quite a few.
I said, "ARE YOU NUTS?! Do you have any idea how many hours, miles, and dollars I have tied up in each ONE of those tailfeathers?"
She said, "No, how much money DO you have tied up in each tailfeather?"
I said, "Nevermind... it's not very much money... they have sentimental value"
:laugh: Then I told her I was going hunting twice as much next year so I could replace the feathers she took.
