Enjoy some Stocked Pheasant Hunting

Posted by Wayne G. Barber
Small game hunting season is opens now !

Looking Back at Our History... the first recorded release of ring-necked pheasants took place in 1908. Pheasants, which could be produced on game farms, were brought into Connecticut to reduce hunting pressure on native gamebirds, which were declining due to population cycles and changing land uses. Today's pheasant program focuses on the release of adult birds during the fall hunting season and is funded solely by the sale of resident game bird conservation stamps and hunting licenses.
