[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 232187, member: 1305"] Oh I don't know it might have something to do with we only shoot roosters so it's not exactly going to make a difference on the number of birds produced next year. The reality is the less roosters we have the better the population will do because they're not exactly beneficial to the hens come winter time and a rooster can breed up to a dozen hens so it doesn't take many to get the job done. Point being hunting season means jack shit on the overall pheasant population.
