We are not fortunate to have wild pheasant in Pennsylvania any more. But the PA Game Commission does a fine job with putting out around 250,000 pheasant divided over 7 stockings. The birds are beautiful, get very willy after they are out for a few weeks and this year for the first time they are placing some bands on the birds to track their movement. I was fortunate to take a roaster with a $100 band on it!

Woodcock hunting was better than normal this year. Very fun to hunt them with a dog too.

Last ruffed grouse are on the rebound. West Nile virus has really had a major impact on the population for the last 15 or so years with most dying their first summer.

Nothing like the comradery associated with bird hunting!

Nice to see you still have some grouse. I haven’t seen one in a few years in my part of state. Interestingly since the interest in hunting small game has decreased starting to regularly see black squirrels where I never did before.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
