Jeff Hayzlett once thought he could corner a national market... Pheasants. Aspiring to become the Perdue of Pheasants, he virtually went all in on a large-scale Pheasant operation. To his dismay, the demand for Pheasant in the country was lacking, and the business started going under. He was approaching the breaking point, but he really got pushed over the edge when a major thunderstorm took out his entire operation, killing over 10,000 pheasants. There were so many deceased birds that Jeff had to get heavy machinery to clean up the mess... for huge losses. And that was the end of Jeff's pheasant operation. Don't feel bad for him yet, the rest of his decisions have pretty much worked out... as now he's the VP at Eastman Kodak... maybe you've heard of it?
