A complete review of the history of the Ring-necked Pheasant in Ontario 

 made during the year revealed that, in areas where the snowfall totalled over 

 50 inches, pheasants were never established in shootable numbers unless there 

 was some local condition related to agricultural practice which provides com- 

 pensating food and shelter in winter. Where the snowfall is greater than 70 

 inches it is not worth while trying pheasants at all.
