maybe make it so if you fast travel within 20m - 30m of the pheasants then they spook like they do right now, but if you fast travel outside of that area mybe make them run to cover or at least take a couple seconds to flee. this way both grinders and casuals win. (scarecrows idea btw)
#Maybe tweak the spooking of pheasants?

Literally impossible to grind them right now on consol. By the time you come out of the tent they are in the air and gone.
