Hey Goon I drove thru a few places out around Mott (Hettinger to Richardton) that had hundreds of pheasants along both sides of the road (trying to find food & gravel where the snow plows scrape the side of the hwy) - I have never seen so much snow on the level, all the way across ND - it sure is pretty to see, out there (even the Buttes are heavily snow covered) but how anything can survive (especially pheasants) is beyond me - I'm sure many did not make it & what have, are just barely hanging on
people out there in general don't like them - they really raise heck with grilles / windows / rear view mirrors etc. & man they are dumb - But I bet smarter than a gopher
