Not sure where you got your pic from but this shows plenty of snow cover on February 1st: https://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/interac...ight=450&nw=800&nh=450&h_o=0&font=0&js=1&uc=0Yep but they didnt fly till January when it looked like this.
I mean the gabe/fritz/plainsman-esque nature of arguing about something then posting someone else's article, effectively claiming king of the internet. I still prefer the "go fist yourself" responses. much more to the point.
Your probably right about large scale Dean. Where I go shooting west of my house I have to drive slow because of all the dumb young released pheasants on the road. It takes them at least a week to learn to stay off the road. I think they release about 500 every year over about four sections. I don't think the state has been doing much, but local clubs are still releasing. I think it's the Wildlife Federation that released in many spots around Jamestown. United Sportsmen may release some to, I don't know. Combine all the small clubs around the state and a lot of birds get released.
Holy man, not even posting in the thread and your panties are still bunching up your vagina. Buy a thicker pad and see if that helps.

Pheasants are self sustaining there's no question. To think they would all die off without stocking is asinine. End of story
Ya, kind of looks like a token release, but I think they release more around this area. I think it's mostly voluntary so your not going to get birds in the thousands.500 birds is about the number I'd run across on a section of land out west around 10 years ago. I'd think you'd want to be releasing a hell of a lot more than that if your goal was to provide a regional stocking of birds.
You guys have as many pheasants in one county as we do our state. Years ago as I would drive from Aberdeen to Jamestown I could never understand why the South Dakota farmers appeared to have better habitat and took better care of their land than the guys right across the border. I still don't understand the program or what caused that.1,170,596 pheasants harvested last year in SD with a estimated population of 8.2 million
ahh Gabe, you and your incredibly high cholesterol. Back for another day of internet fun I see. As you can see, I lumped all three of you together. You're the same troll to me, regardless of username. I sincerely hope you don't infect yet another website. If you aren't noticing a pattern yet, well then you're dumber than I thought.
P.S. I'll continue ignoring you now.

I thought you had class at least?

Drought is no good for anyone: farmers, ranchers, wildlife. No doubt about it. But to say habitat has no value to wildlife is a bit of a stretch Fritz. A big fucking stretch.
