Brood survey shows high numbers of pheasants
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) -- The annual pheasant brood survey conducted by the state Game, Fish and Parks Department shows a bumper year for the birds.
Results of the statewide survey show 6.6 pheasants per mile, the highest number of birds per mile in 40 years, GF&P officials said Friday.
Pheasant numbers increased 21 percent from a year ago and are 74 percent higher than the 10-year average, the GF&P said.
The department uses the brood survey to provide an estimate of the pheasant population ahead of pheasant hunting season. The regular season this year starts Oct. 15.
