Title: 2013-2014 Pheasent prediction
Post by: Labs07 on July 01, 2013, 02:52:45 PM: Normally this time of year I am seeing much more rain than we usually get but that is not the case this year. What do you think the current weather pattren will do for the Pheasent population?

Post by: Sumpnneedskillin on July 01, 2013, 03:19:58 PM: We've gotten a lot of rain especially in the last month. Seeing the normal roosters but haven't seen many hens. The few hens I've seen so far have not had any chicks with them. Have only seen a handful of early quail chicks and no turkey poults.

So my prediction is this year's hatch is decimated
