There has been some mortality on pheasants this year but i have been seeing a fair number of them out and about with this warm weather. Its hard to tell right now just how bad it was on them. May not be so bad because i know a lot of farmers didnt get corn fields out and they provided excellent food and cover for the birds. As for the snow geese they did have a bad hatch this year. There is a lot of adult birds out there and not many juvies. Decoy hunting is going to be tough this year but there has to be a way to outsmart those old birds.
