SD GFP Road Counts are out...Down, Down, Down....Now what?
It's been 2 months since our last report in July. Much has transpired since then. I had to finish mowing my new CRP blocks the first week in August and I would say without a doubt that that week I have seen the most birds on the roads and in the CRP cover all summer. Even as a landowner out working habitat on your farm it remains difficult to assess real bird numbers due to all the cover available for young broods to escape into.

For the fifth year out of the last six, Minnesota pheasant hunters in 2008 harvested more than a half million roosters. Prior to 2003, Minnesota hunters had bagged more than 500,000 birds during just two seasons since 1964 (1981 & 1991). While the 2008 harvest fell well below the 40-year record set in 2007 with a 655,000 bird harvest, hunter participation and success during the 2008 season remained high.
