Have you ever seen a Pheasant in Indiana ?
If so, where ?
I have only seen them on Atterbury FWA during the Put and Take Hunts.
BTW: Have any of you ever seen a Pheasant in Southern Indiana ?

northern Indiana , Benton cnty , wild birds , there are other northern counties that hold wild pheasant, many farmers that have given permission in the past have stopped allowing hunting to try to bring the population up more.

I have family that live on Lamb Lake along the Brown/Johnson County Border.
They live about 7 miles west of Camp Atterbury.
They seen a Pheasant about 4 years ago on their hunting land, along Lamb Lake.

Years ago I was walking along a trail to a pond at my grandma's old house and one took off out of the brush. It scared the crap out of me. This was in western Greene County.

Years ago, the DNR did a multi-year project of inter-breeding different types of pheasants, in order to get one that could survive all over the state. They were getting close and then it seems it dropped off the radar. Only the shadow knows.

North Allen, Noble, DeKalb, Steuben. Lagrange, Whitley, Kosco... to name a few. They go up when there is a lot of set aside ground. I see them and hear them regularly. Chain-O-Lakes has a lot of them.

We had them in Whitley County close to US 30 in 2004-2006. The first time I heard them I thought it was a rusty piece of farm scrap moving in the wind, crazy squawking birds. Don't know if they are still there.
Haven't seen them here in Miami County as of yet. Haven't seen many Turkeys lately either, may pass on trying to hunt this spring, no reason to dwindle a shrinking population. Will work on habitat instead.

Chain-O-Lakes has a lot of them. I live near Steuben/Dekalb county line and used to have a couple hundred acres of CRP around my house. We could see and hear them every evening. It was pretty cool. The farmer starting planting the field 2-3 years ago and I don't see them much any more around the house. Still have some good CRP just down the road and see one every once in a while. |

Shot a couple roosters in Warren County last Fall. Saw a bunch of birds in this property. Unfortunately the land I hunted last season is in the last year of a CRP contract so it will be beans this year.

Antler I don't where they go. We go to church in Noble Co and one year there must have been 100+ out in a snow covered cut cornfield. The next spring they put about 300 acres of CRP ground back in production. Now we see very few. You would have thought they would still be in the area.

I've got lots of pheasants on my farm. Always were a few around, but they have really multiplied since we put the whole place in habitat. Not unusual to see a dozen or more in an evening sit from the deer stand. Got a few coveys of quail around too.
