A year ago the winter took its toll of birds and this year, completely different. I have been trapping our area the hardest I ever had which still isn't very hard(I am really gonna do it hard next fall) and now we have about 5-10 pheasants in a about 20 acres of CRP plots and just tonight along the road saw about 15 birds(split hens and roosters) about 10 miles from our place. May not sound like much, but this is more birds than we have ever had on our place.

Without passion.....Why bother?
