I think that these photos will drive home my accusation of agency mismanagement. These were taken on various New Jersey Wildlife Management Areas, which are the equivelent of our Pennsylvania Game Lands.

The dates of these photos are 20-DEC-05, 24-DEC-05, 29-DEC-05 and 31-DEC-05, respectively. We had a damn fine pheasant year in Jersey. (Note the Quail in a couple of the photos.) We did have one day that proved to be unproductive, but only because I missed two birds. I won't tell you how many Roosters I missed (You can shoot hens too.), I'm enbarrassed. And right now (02-JAN-06) I'm getting ready to go out again for a couple of hours.

Imagine, hunting small game on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve.
Only in New Jersey!

Now, if a looser state such as New Jersey can manage a productive Pheasant Program, why can't a great hunting state such as Pennsylvania do at the very least the same? We certainly should be able to do better, or does New Jersey know something about manageing small game that Pennsylvania's wildlife managers don't?





Why couldn't these pictures have been taken in Pennsylvania?
