Late last season the final population estimates came out from South Dakota Game & Fish. The tally read 11.9 million pheasants. The best since 1945. One could hardly expect to top that number anytime soon and yet some of the most established wild bird SD enthusiasts and conservationists are hedging to say that 2008 may be yet another record year for wild pheasant populations.
Having been recently out on the farm in south central South Dakota I am happy to report good news and bad news. The bad news first....lots of dead birds on the roads and lots of bird/car collisions. Now the good news....that is the good news.
