Maybe, pheasant was a big deal. I loved those wild chickens! Hagerstown area was a pretty hot spot but now they're all gone. I've heard it was because of change in farming practices, IDK if that holds water. I think it was more rabbit too.

Undecided on a great many things
The old farmers said it was the change to No-till that finished the Pheasants and quail. Which would probably mean the roundup or other burn sprays they use.
I grew up rabbit and pheasant hunting right out my back door plus the farm behind our woods. The pheasants went away when most farms plowed over their hedge rows for a couple of additional tillable acres. Those pheasants loved the hedge rows. Between this loss of their preferred habitat and the rampant over population of foxes, we’ve lost all the pheasants. Loved running those woods and that farm with my knucklehead beagle back in the day. Sometimes we jumped a deer, and couldn’t wait to tell everyone we knew that we saw a deer.

Patuxent SP was swarmed yesterday. Went in early and fairly deep, only saw a fox. By late afternoon 330 or 4pm when I was getting optimistic had a "still" hunter come by... including one who saw my setup from back behind and then basically walked a grid pattern 50yd by 150yd in front of me.
I relocated at that point and counted 12 more people on the mile and change to new spot...
Parking lot apparently was full and then some in afternoon. Trying elsewhere today and not going back there for firearm season again unless it's horrible weather or something.

I got 3 this morning, with 3 shots. Shot all of them in about 2 minutes time. Fun morning!
I’m hunting a farm where they want all the deer gone. My freezer is now full, but I have a few friends always willing to take a deer or 2 from me.
Hopefully, I’ll get some more this evening.

All gutted, not bad!
Remember in my post I said it was a fun morning? Well that fun ends after you pull the trigger, lol. Then is time for the work to start!
I’m posting this from the field, trying for some more.
