[QUOTE="shorthairman, post: 232262, member: 6223"] If you release 600K roosters and they all get harvested in that same season then it will only take a year to make up that difference!::: Some studies I read years ago said it was less than 10% of released birds survive up to a year in the wild. Also, it will still take some time to build up a bird population even if you have cover...there has to be birds around to populate it. I get pretty worked up when it comes to pheasants because in my mind there are never enough of them, and there can never be too many of them! I think Habitat first, then predator control. The SW part of NE is very similar to where I am in NC NE. A lot of center pivot fields. If there is a big difference in the farming I would say that we have corn and soybeans and SW has corn and wheat. The reason I feel SW has pheasants and NC doesn't is because they do not disturb most of their corners. Approximately 28 acres of every 160 acre pivot is not farmed because the pivot does not hit the corners. Here the corners are mowed and baled, or grazed...no cover. I hunt SW NE a couple times a year, and most of our walking is corners and we always get some birds. [/QUOTE]
