Nobody posts on this thread because pheasant hunting sucks especially on the eastern side of the state.
I’ve hunted in Nebraska since 1971 and this year has been the absolute worst.

God this one hits home. I moved from northeast Nebraska to south east Sodak. World of difference. Nebraska game in parks needs a stern talking too
 
I always wondered why Nebraska wasn't a popular state. I've never hunted there because I've never heard that I needed too.

So what gives? Seems like Nebraska should have everything available to make birds like their northern and southern sisters. Or is it just the best-kept secret going?
 
Here's some 2024/2025 info about the cornhusker state, conditions, and bird estimates. Doesn't seem like a completely dire situation from this, but what's printed on paper and what actually is happening in the field can vary wildy sometimes. According to this, pheasants are up in every zone except the northeast and quail are up in every zone they are present in.

Hunting was decent in November but December was awful. I think quite a few birds were taken in November where I hunt as in December there were hardly any around, this is SW Nebraska really dry there as almost zero moisture. Nothing like 20 years ago, too much habitat loss many CRP grounds were removed when contracts expired. Sure isn't coming back either.
 
Nebraskas all right I don’t see a lot of difference between it and Kansas. I think Nebraskans like to keep it hush.

When you have 2 birds for 10 miles and the count 3 in 10 miles , the number is up but you don’t have many birds. Statistics are misleading.
