I had posted this in the PA Forum but I guess not to many people look over there!
Pheasants are returning to the great state of Pa. Through a partnership between Pheasants Forever and The Pennsylvania Game Commission several areas in Pa have been designated WPRA's (Wild Pheasant Recovery Areas). Once designated a WPRA the area is closed to pheasant hunting and will no longer be stocked with game farm birds. The area will then be stocked with wild pheasants from out west from places like South Dakota and Montana. The program is now in full swing and has been a huge success so far. I look forward to the future!
Here is an article I found talking about the program from the Times Leader.
