What To Know About Pheasant Hunting in Missouri

Before heading into the field, it helps to learn about the birds you’ll be pursuing and what makes pheasant hunting such a unique experience.

Understanding Pheasants

Ring‑necked pheasants were introduced to the United States in the late 1800s and quickly became one of the country’s most popular gamebirds. They thrive in agricultural landscapes, especially areas with grasslands, grain fields, and weedy cover.

Male pheasants (roosters) are brightly colored with iridescent feathers, a white neck ring, and a long, pointed tail.
Female pheasants (hens) are brown and mottled, which helps them blend into grass and brush for protection.
