What type of evergreen tree would be a great winter cover for pheasants and other upland game. It might also be nice if it is relatively fast maturing.
Join Pheasants Forever and you will get copy of their magazine. It has all kinds of information in it about establishing winter shelter belts for pheasants.
It isn’t enough just to have some winter thermal cover. It is also important that it is established in the correct proximity to the food supply while still providing sufficient escape cover so they avoid the predators, (both avian and ground), that will be attracted to the cover to hunt.
Pheasants Forever is a great place to start getting the best possible information.
