Been out pheasant hunting 5 times now and have spent over 30 days bowhunting in pheasant country. My assessment is that numbers in the counties I hunt are down a bit from last year. Had we not had that cold front and wet cold weather during the early hatching period, I think we would have had a bumper hatch. CRP fields look good but fire weed is not existent this year. Just don't have the weedy cover. But there are a few birds to hunt and lets hope for a good hatch in 2026 and continued wet weather, just not at the end of May or early June. There is about a month there where we need warm and very dry weather. We just want a very raining late June and July.
