Abstract:

Currently, the only successfully established population of ring-necked pheasants in the Southeast is on the Outer Banks in the vicinity of Hatteras Island. The population is about forty years old, and because of the isolation of the barrier islands, the pheasants have not expanded beyond them. Connelly discusses attempts to established other pheasant populations on other game lands.
