Article Abstract:

Pheasant hunters miss their large targets not because of the birds' alleged vertical flushes, but because they shoot too quickly and aim at the whole bird instead of locking in on a particular part. Pheasants may have flushed vertically more often in the past because fields were more heavily wooded.
