R.S.B.,
Arethere any efforts being put forth to restore a wild pheasant population in Schuylkill county? If there is, I am willing to offer my time to help by whatever means beneficial to the program.(You can send me a PM and I will give you my contact info.)I want to be objective and see these efforts first hand, more importantly this "promising" result such as in Elk county. I will say I have seen some pheasants (stocked) survive the season but come spring- no trace of a pheasant anywhere.

I agree with Sproul on the predators killing them off, at least in my area. This leads me to the following.

Can you explain to me why I am only allowed to trap coyote with a cable restraint from Jan 1 to Feb 22, yet I can hunt them 365 days a year? Do you feel this will ever be ammended? I understand their fur ismore valuedthis time of year but this season runs exactly during their breeding season when hunting opportunities are the greatest. Then when they are no longer searching to breed and are doing more searching for food I cannot set cable restraintswith food bait at a time whenwe would be most effective at controlling the population by trapping means.
