Delaware's entire huntable pheasant population is DNREC-stocked onto public hunting areas, not a wild, surveyed population -- DNREC's own hunting page confirms stocking occurs "on certain public lands" without publishing a dedicated stocking-schedule document, so the honest "region" answer is the access geography of named wildlife areas rather than a density map. Independent hunting-press sourcing (Dive Bomb Industries, HuntNationUSA) converges on the same four wildlife areas as Delaware's top public pheasant destinations, spanning all three counties: Cedar Swamp WA (New Castle County), Norman G. Wilder WA and Milford Neck WA (Kent County), and Assawoman WA (Sussex County).
No formal population survey program exists for this species in this state.
