Pheasant season on tap in New York: DEC recovers from March Avian Flu outbreak at Reynolds Game Farm

Pheasant hunters across New York are gearing up for a fall hunting season that just a few months ago remained questionable regarding if it would happen or not.

The outbreak, at what is New York’s only such facility, resulted in the entire flock of breeding pheasants – approximately 6,600 birds – being depopulated and most of the facility being placed under quarantine.
