Pheasant hunting in pa gets tougher

[bauerline]

The recent flooding in Pa is responsible for the PGC loosing 40,000 birds that were to be released for the upcoming pheasant season. It will be tough out there this year.

I think if you do you do your homework we should be OK! "hint" Not all of the areas will be affected the same.

I am looking forward to next year when the numbers will go back over 200,000 birds.This will enable them to once again release birds on the Co- Op and Safety Zone properties.

The stocking of 200,000 birds in areas that have shown little promise of natural reproduction and the establishment of the Wild Pheasant Recovery Areas in the more traditional pheasant range,shows that the PGC "gets it".I can't think of another state that is working harder to help keep the small game hunting tradition alive. We should all support their efforts.
