Better data is needed for better management. Collecting data in any way shape or form on pheasants is always good. Looks like the state and biologists have up'd their game on this one.

I come from a big data background in computers and healthcare data and have seen the impacts of collection of big data decision supports systems.

The state brings some good biology to the table in regards to pheasants. SD Gov and MN Gov will head up National Pheasant Summit at Pheasant Fest too. Looking forward to seeing this first ever join event.
