Pheasant research has largely looked at grassland habitat throughout the landscape as an indicator of suitability of ring-necked pheasant habitat. Empirical and anecdotal evidence shows that increased grasslands percentages has a positive affect on pheasant presence or abundance. This study examines the differences in grassland percentages in two study areas in Northern Ohio, Williams/Defiance and Erie/Ottawa/Sandusky, to suggest reasons for the lack of pheasant presence in the Erie, Ottawa, and Sandusky area. The results showed no significant difference between the mean grassland percentages in the two areas (?=0.05, d.f.=3, p=.1175), however in comparison to the literature and qualitatively there seems to be a difference. These results will be useful in habitat management recommendations in the area of Erie, Ottawa, and Sandusky counties.
