I'll start out by telling of my pheasant knowledge, growing up in north Burnaby in the mid-50s there were pheasant in our neighbourhood, it was still had bush , in fact my friends captured a cock with a gunny sack . My only other bit of pheasant knowledge was one of my Ladner high school chums said his lab would get disgusted with him when he wouldn't shoot hens on their farm. This was mid/late '60s . What areas in the province have pheasants now. I gather they are not common now.
