Abstract
"The ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is one of the most popular upland game birds in the central and northern regions of the United States (Figure 1). This species, which is native to Asia, was first released into the U.S. in the mid-19th century. Pheasants were first introduced in Missouri during the 1890s, with the first hunting season held in 1901. This initial pheasant population declined rapidly, and hunting was stopped in 1904. Efforts to successfully reestablish pheasants in Missouri began shortly after the state dropped the pheasant hunting season and continued through public and private efforts for several decades." -- first page
