Our friends, the Wright family, own and operate Thundering Aspens Sportsman Club near Mesick, Michigan. Their ring-necked pheasants naturally reproduce and fly as well as any wild pheasant. The Wrights entice the birds to stay on their property by creating a natural habit and by growing sorghum and other crops that the pheasants love to eat all year long. I made this photograph on the edge of one of their fields.
