Title: Westside pheasant hunting a thing of the past?
Post by: sticky on August 14, 2010, 05:26:55 PM

Does WDFW release pheasants anywhere on the westside anymore?  I have been out of hunting for the better part of ten years, but they used to release at least somewhere in the 505 (Mossyrock) Unit.  I know that it is a tough go for birds here, but there are still a few pheasants I see now and then.  Any info is appreciated.
