I remember several years ago I was hunting at an area where they released pheasants. I had hunted for several hours with no luck so I decided to go home. I walked back to the car, took my jacket off, put my gun in it's pouch and stuck it in the trunk of the car. When I walked around the car to get inside, as soon as I opened the door I looked up and here comes a pheasant walking right past the front of my car. I ran back around the car, got my gun out and started looking for that bird. Never saw it again. Last fall, I was hunting in the same area. Got tired and headed home. On the road about a 1/4 mile from where I had been hunting I looked over on the side of the road and here was this bird with a bright orange neck standing on the side of the road in the ditch. I turned into the lot across the road, grabbed my gun from the trunk, ran back and looked all over where I saw that bird standing. No luck AGAIN!! 🙄
