Question about pheasants: Are they an invasive or otherwise destructive threat? Like, is there an ecological excuse for hunting them? Honest Q.

In the 50’s and 60’s you might have been able to make an argument for invasive but the numbers are so low now they aren’t hurting anything.

What wet willie said. They were all over the and my dad saw 100+ birds in a single draw back in the early 70's.

They are native to china but were introduced to the in the late 1800's. Their ideal habit is grasslands so they thrived in the early 1900's until the green revolution took over and farmers didn't leave fields fallow and farmed beans/corn fence row to fence row.

TL:DR- Modern Agriculture practices in the midwest are not good for pheasants. Thats why the only region they still have huntable populations is the plains states but even that is shrinking.

KC hunters used to be able to go out to Abilene and slaughter tons of pheasants but in the last 20 years the line of decent pheasant populations has shifted to west of Salina.

But no, there is no ecological threat from pheasants. They are basically wild chickens.

We were cleaning up some weeds and lady found a rabbit nest and started throwing all the baby rabbits around then eating them. I did not want her eating them so I gathered up all the baby rabbits that were strewn all over and put them in the barn for the farm cats to eat.

This happens like once a week where lady or Milo will find some rabbit/mice/gopher den, kill the animal and then we will throw it to the barn cats for them to eat.

I think people are put off by you causally feeding baby bunnies to your cats. I assume you view it as a mercy killing since they would likely be abandoned by the mother after such an incident.

Their nest was destroyed in the process of removing the weeds so it was either leave them where the dog had scattered them or throw them to the cats.  :dunno:

After watching about 5 nests get destroyed over the last couple of weeks you get desensitized to the whole thing but I could see how it could be off putting.

Do you think pet raccoons just miraculously happen?

if you don't want to kill them, just put them together and then leave them alone.  like 90% chance the mother will gather them.

you know the story in goonies where chunk feels awful for making everyone puke? great story right.. well this one is not.  I had the headphones in one day and was mowing a side of my house and ran over a bunny nest.... I didn't kill any of them but got ones back leg and I could hear it squeal over my music and mower.  :frown: before I could figure out what happened they were all able to scatter including lil tripod. hopefully he's limping a good life though

Pretty fun morning in the blind at my dad’s place in the Texas Hill Country.  Watching a herd of Axis in the meadow that were already there at first light.  8 bucks; 1 monster, 2 other shooters, 2 borderline and 2 spikes.  Saw the 2 other shooters locking antlers for about 5 minutes.  Watching the monster stay back from the herd and rub on trees. 

They had made there way to about 20 yds from the property line and were getting close when the neighbors a half a mile away let there dogs out.  I could see orange collars bobbing up and down in the field, hear barking and the next thing you know, the herd is gone...

Will sit around for another hour to see if they come back down the mountain.  If not, will sit in the blind this evening when it is 100* out.  Will do it all over again tomorrow and Monday if need be.

Didn’t realize hunting season opened that early in Texas, but I have heard Axis deer are among the tastiest creatures a person can eat.

There is no season on axis as they are not native.  Year round and no limit.
