RE: WI Pheasent Opener
Me and my dad have alot of success on state land. Alot of cpr fields that are over grown. My Grandpa also has a large farm that his mainly CPR fields in south eastern WI. Every year we see a good two to three wild hatches but alot really dont make it but a couple of them. The state land is slow, usually that's where we get our very large and long tail feathered Pheasants. So i'd see we hunt both state and private 50/50 each way, we dont want to over harvest on my grandpa's farm so we limit the birds we shoot there. We like to keep track, I read that One rooster will breed up to 15 hens and if there are two roosters around, they will either kill the hens or each other so that neither of them get any. Weird huh? We go on this basis and like to keep just couple roosters aorund each year, and it's working. Sorry to hear about your leg still got till the end of December!
