info on the scatter creek release plans.
http://wdfw.wa.gov/news/sep1817a/WDFW:
"Rather than divide the birds between the northern and southern sections as in previous years, WDFW will release 3,500 pheasants north of Scatter Creek, White said. Another 500 birds will be redirected to nearby release sites at Lincoln Creek, Skookumchuck and the Chehalis River.
Brian Calkins, WDFW regional wildlife manager, said the change was necessary under the circumstances. The fire left little cover for the birds south of Scatter Creek, and what cover remains is adjacent to a county road, he said.
"We don't want to attract hunters to the southern portion of the wildlife area," Calkins said. "Putting birds and hunters in that area would create an unsafe situation.""
