I asked this exact question, and I was told that the initial transplants were not farm raised, but were "wild birds". I don't know if that means they were captured in the wild, rode a ship , and were released, or were wild in some other part of NA and released here. I don't know how true that is.How did all those "native" pheasants get into Montana in the first place? Was there something different about how they were raised and released back then vs the program now, or are they just the remnants of those failed programs?
