The ring-necked pheasant is a species of upland game bird native to Asia. Locally referred to as ring necks, roosters and ditch parrots, the bird has been introduced in the United States as well as Europe and New Zealand. Populations in North America are now well established in areas containing farmlands and native grasslands and have "replaced" prairie chickens in much of the Midwest. 

Pheasants require weedy fence rows, ditch banks or brushy woods for escape cover. Pheasant populations struggled in the U.S. during the 1960's and 1970's due to a lack of required cover as a result of agricultural practices.

Pheasant populations have benefited enormously from the Conservation Reserve Program in the U.S.. CRP involves the planting of vast acres of native grasses by farmers in agricultural areas. CRP benefits many species of wildlife including upland birds, waterfowl and deer. Government agencies continue to struggle over the issue of the CRP program's future here in the U.S. Efforts of hunter groups like Pheasants Forever have succeeded in ensuring the program's success, at least in the short term.

Many hunting strategies are successful for pheasant and both pointing dogs and flushing dogs are widely used. As many a pheasant hunter will attest, these birds are very crafty and successfully outsmart even the most experienced hunters and dogs on a regular basis. Pheasants love to run and will do so even in the slightest amount of cover. Every effort should be made to get to a downed bird as soon as possible, as it only takes a few seconds for a cripple to cross the nearest county line. 

Internet Prices & Availability
Because the art market is constantly in a state of instability, with new releases coming out and other ones selling out,  We will try to this site as up to date as  possible on  price changes and when art sells out. Prices and availability of artwork do change overnight sometimes and very unexpectedly, so there is no way to guarantee that the piece you ordered on our web site is available. We will always contact you and refund you immediately if there is a problem. There is a 20% Restocking Fee.
