Looks like ksbowhunter was right, pheasants are down in the in the west and SW, likely due to a spring Blizzard, suprise! The northern high plains will be down in a mirror of SW NE. I could not find brood counts yet. Overall looks like a fair season with quail still kicking butt Everyone is crying habitat, but numbers will be down in most of the last of the pheasant stronghold in the middle of the country this year for the second, yes second, year in a row. Take away the regional drought and there is a lot of pheasant habitat that is not populated where it should be. Something is going on other than weather. 2015 was the recent peak of numbers, and brood counts are half that in most of the pheasant range.
