Things are looking up in South and North Dakota in terms of the fall pheasant hunting outlook. Here is some information in regards to what I am seeing and hearing that is dramatically different (better) than last year):
- The spring precipitation levels are at or above the monthly averages for all areas of the prime pheasant range (Mitchell, Presho, Timber Lake and Aberdeen)
- Pastures, CRP, and other fallow areas have incredible growth in terms of nesting grasses due to the precipitation. Both duck and pheasant nesting conditions are very favorable as reported by local Pheasants Forever and South Dakota Game Fish and Parks Biologists. In other terms, â??The drought is overâ?�.
- Across the Dakotaâ??s and Minnesota, spotters are reporting larger nest sizes and broods of pheasant eggs and chicks.
- South Dakota Game Fish and Parks Biologists believe that the overall quality of pheasant nesting cover will offset any issues of nest flooding. These areas of concern were largely in the James River Valley area and NE corner of South Dakota and SE of North Dakota.
- At this time, it is anticipated that the overall pheasant populations in the Dakotaâ??s will be above populations found in the 2005 and 2006 years.
