Happy “Peak Hatch” Day

Not to rain on your parade, but i was out in the country this A.M. and came across a roaster and hen standing together on the road. Guess some birds will have to try a second time this year...not surprising, actually.

The great thing about pheasants is they are very determined to hatch a successful nest. Last year was a terrible drought in SD and there were still a lot of birds in our area. Conditions seem to be very good this year so my fingers are crossed.

Not to rain on your parade but you do realize the hen does occasionally leave the nest?

No rain, SD’s a big state, I am not intimately familiar with all of it, just keep track of my areas. Pheasants are pretty determined and resilient. Last year was terrible for the hatch yet I had a great season. Should/could be even better this year. It would take a lot more than a hen sighting to rain on my parade! 3 hours of golf ball sized hail in my specific areas would do it!!! 🤯
