a kid and we would take our Irish Setter pheasant hunting in NJ, USA - that
poor dog would come home with a pound of burrs stuck in it's hair and I'd
spend hours grooming him after. Good luck.

In S jersey the burrs are rare so are pheasants. Our pheasants are
stocked and stupid. We hunted over by the Philadelphia airport in the
"Meadows 50 years ago where smart pheasants reproduced. Challenging .
Only 50 miles away but soil and cover does matter. Once saw a TV
program deaing with pheasant hunting in Dakotas which was unbelievable.

We used to hunt in an area called Round Valley, I believe. We'd hunt to
train the dog and I don't think there was a burdock he didn't find and then
attach to his coat. In later years, we'd go more to north Jersey, Morris &
Sussex Cty.

I'd be careful planting anything with a 40" taproot unless you have a
backhoe at your disposal.
