Great stuff, Bone!
Man, I miss photographing pheasants. Had a ton of 'em nearby in the Tonasket/Loomis area a few years ago when I first moved out here. Now there are hardly any left - think I've seen 4 or 5 in the past year, whereas that would've been 400 or 500 back in '08 and '09.
You're lucky to still have 'em where you're at . . . keep shootin', and make the most of it while it lasts.
