With the pheasant numbers down 60% in North Dakota this year the motorists are making it worse. 4 days in a row now, I have come across
a pheasant hen smashed in the road by vehicles traveling the highway. Most in the same small area.
The torture of seeing the few that made it through only to be taken this way is hard to take.
Lets see now ( projected future loses if all went well in the nesting field)......4 x 8 =32.........1/2 of those hens = 16 x 8= 128 1/2 again
is 64 x 8 =512 etc.etc.etc. UGH!
