[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 301545, member: 1305"] so first off must make it clear that I am not a big die hard pheasant hunter but given the opportunity on a large number of birds in a small amount of cover I like anybody else will dive in on that and enjoy it thoroughly. More so than anything I just like seeing a whole lot of them around because theres just something fun about having phesents everywhere you turn to make any walk or drive a joy. So this leads me to my question to the Pheasant gurus we have on here. That question is that we went rolling into the hatch this year dry as a popcorn fart although with the caveat of carrying ridiculous amounts of precipitation over from last year. I'm just curious if anyone actually has biological knowledge of the growth rate of insects especially with the fact that we have now received rain at a very critical time and just wondering if the new flush of bugs can arrive in time to save the chicks.....or perhaps wasn't all that necessary in the first place due to the large amount of carryover moisture from last year. So if anyone knows the biology of it I'd love to hear from you or just as much I would love to hear from anybody who's actually been seeing broods out and about and their general size to at least give us an indication of if they're are out and about or if they're not.
