While the headlines get all the attention – “Pheasant Numbers are up 25%” – there’s so much more to the story and you don’t have to be a biologist or a hunter to understand the recipe for healthy upland game and pheasant populations. Weather and habitat.
Good nesting weather and spring grasslands help maintain and grow pheasant numbers. The right weather at the right time is preferred. Often that’s more of a wish than reality, while a winter with plenty of deep snow and cold can thin even the strongest numbers in North Dakota.

Steve Carney: A Minnesota duck update, and a bad experience in the deer blind
