[QUOTE="bigv, post: 232270, member: 835"] I am no expert on pheasant health but i don't think one needs to be to analyze the problem. CRP is king. With so many acres lost, many animal species is in decline. Pheasants, deer etc. Some have mentioned coyotes. Coyotes actually have little impact on pheasant populations and may actually benefit them as they tend to keep coon and skunk species away. So I have read. Be sure to kill coons/skunks any chance you get. Also weather plays a huge part. If too dry in spring the chicks can get dehydrated and die. They live off of the dew or water that gathers on the weeds/plants. Yet then again if too wet nests can die or drown. For such a hardy bird it sure is ironic how easily they suffer. Pheasants are prolific breeders having multiple hatches. I know that putting out birds is a very low success rate but....if even a few survive to breed wouldn't that be a start?? [/QUOTE]
