Sometimes it's out by the end of August. My guess......with what should be a pretty darn good year for pheasants, I'll bet the report shows no change or maybe even a drop. The reason: so much cover around. There's more of it due to unplanted fields, & the weeds/grass are twice as tall as usual due to all the rain. But....regardless, it's not a good short-term indication of what's happening with pheasant populations anyway. I'm interested in the report only because it's info about pheasants. But when you study it & compare it to post-season reports (equally valid data), the brood report is only worthwhile as an indicator of long-term population trends.
