[QUOTE="Up Y'oars, post: 232234, member: 764"] For work I was out traveling this week and speaking to farmers all across NW NoDak, from Crosby/Wildrose (northern edge) to Powers Lake (eastern edge) to Epping (western edge). I asked each of them how they've been seeing their pheasant populations. Every one of them said they've seen very few birds at all, even when combining. The Williston basin is usually flush with birds and the consensus is NOT THIS YEAR! I think the population north of the lake is down way more than the NDG&F estimate of 3% decrease. That may not be as bad south of the lake, I dunno. Overall it is lower than last year, and that sucks. Our group will probably hunt less often to allow the birds group up as the season progresses. My dog is in his ninth year and I can already see he will begin his progression to hunting less than a full day after this season. Most likely I will not replace him with other dog. That will be a day I won't want to cross the bridge, but know it has to happen sooner or later. :( [/QUOTE]
