Hoping this extreme cold will not hurt the pheasant population too much, but depending on what kind of cover the birds did or didn't find it is certainly possible that it could severely hurt numbers in certain pockets. Here in southern Minnesota, it was brutal overnight last night. Close to -70 windchill, and as cold as -31 air temp this morning. The 10 minutes I spent outside in the yard doing a few chores yesterday evening was the most brutal cold I've ever felt on my body- there's no way I could have been outside for an extended period, no matter how well prepared.
