djustice, I agree this is a great thread. I just want to add that there is no reason why wild reproducing western and north central Oklahoma wild pheasants can't expand their range into Eastern Oklahoma.

Example, when I first started keeping up with the authentic Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas wild pheasant range in 1969, the wild Oklahoma pheasant range diminished or played out just south of Enid. Now over 45 years later wild Oklahoma pheasants can be seen around the wheat fields of Kingfisher.

East of I-35 wild pheasants are seen around Kaw City, in Osage county. But no open season east of Hwy 18. That does not mean that over time wild pheasant wild reproducing pheasants will stop expanding east of Hwy 18. It takes a long time east of I-35 (because of the natural increase in trees and vegetation) for wild pheasants to build up critical mass, it just talks a long, long time, that does not mean that, that area is not good pheasant country. I don't know why Oklahoma and Kansas gave up on expanding the wild pheasant range eastward. Wild trapped wild pheasants released east of I-35 would also help.

If wilder strains of F1 True Pheasant (ringneck type) like the Manchurian ringneck, the Korean ringneck or the White-Winded pheasant (also called the Bianchi pheasant) were released by the thousands, this would speed up the eastward expansion of the wild pheasant range .

Not pheasants but all these mountain quail the dogs and I have been seeing sure have us excited. Thanks for the tips hettmoe, my pics are getting a little better.





 


Look closely, you'll see two young quail looking up just left of the rock.





 
Those are real nice photos. I am very glad that you are not only out with your dogs and seeing birds, but enjoying capturing the birds with your new camera, as well. Hopefully you are posting these in the Quail Hunting Forum, too. Also, I look forward to seeing some photos of your dogs with some of those Mountain Quail sometime soon. Good job!:coolpics:
 
Love seeing those wild pheasant broods:thumbsup: Very nice thank you.
