or (using your 1,000,000 pheasants with "6 zeros") that's almost 0.035 pheasants per each one-acre parcel, or one bird for every 28.6 acres. That's one powerful bunch of (wild?) pheasants harvested in PA.
Actually JDW is quite right on his 1,000,000 pheasant estimate with all six zero's...though admittedly he was being a bit modest! Actually Pennsylvania's pheasant take peaked
over 1,300,000 million in the 70's the majority of which were all wild.
In fact the state game commision estimated that there were several million wild pheasants alone in PA during those years.
