The preserve is actually our farm where we have lived for over 25 years. We've always had a lot of pheasants and done a lot of hunting with friends and relatives, since many of the farms around us have little cover left after the grain harvest. Ours has a lot of natural feed & cover,( river and drainage ditch banks, gravel pits, wooded areas, hillsides with grass & brush) resulting in a migration of birds to our farm. In 1996 we became a state licensed hunting preserve and added a neighboring farm (Total of approx. 600 acres). We seeded our pastures to prairie grass and started planting corn & sorghum plots for more cover and feed. Since the state requires that we replace the birds harvested, plus 20%, we add to the native population by releasing birds that have been raised on a farm that has 80 acres under high netting.
Most people have a limited amount of time to hunt and don't want to waste it in an unproductive way. If you want to have some good hunting, and you aren't fortunate enough to have exclusive access to good pheasant cover, you don't have a lot of options.
