Before 1993 there used to be quite a few pheasants in the Mississippi river bottoms in the St. Louis area. The county I live in used to shoot quite a few of them.
We had a record flood in 1993 that brought water out of the banks for well over 2 miles and killed all the birds that lived in the bottoms.
Well last month my dad said he saw a pheasant alongside the highway in the bottoms - I didn't believe him.
Last week my buddy said he saw a pheasant along a road on the high ground. So that got me thinking.
So what do I see standing in the shoulder of the highway this evening??? A rooster
Could be the numbers are starting to really come back
