I've often wondered how they keep retrievers alive down there with the gators submerged in the water
I couldn't imagine watching alligators tearing into my dog to while he attempts to make a retrieve.
Though things wouldn't end well for the gator/s either. Nick

Yeah that's been on my mind more then even the move. I might just hunt rice fields.
The rice fields in southwest Louisiana can support wild pheasants. Check out the article below:
http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/hunting/programs/small-game-program
I know for sure that in the rice fields 25 to 35 miles west of Louisiana border along I-10 on the Texas side ( I will not give the exact spot) in the rice country west of Beaumont you can still find wild pheasants, this time of year you can hear them crowing. But they closed the season to hunting, but wild pheasant are still there. Another area in southeast Texas rice country with wild reproducing pheasants is the rice country south of Bay City, Texas.
Main point, there is hope for Louisiana pheasants in the rice country, but it takes hard work. California rice fields have pheasant and they have been there for nearly 100 years.
The Texas rice country originally started their wild pheasants from wild-trapped California rice field pheasant that they crossed with white-winged pheasant (Bianchi pheasant) and other wilded strains. That produced a wild alert ringneck pheasant that knew how to deal with the Texas heat rain and predators.
Both of my parents are from Louisiana, they came to Texas before I was born to work in the oil industry. I inherited outdoor hunting gene from them or what my brother calls the "wild chicken" blood because I like wild chicken-like birds, pheasant quail etc..
