Pheasants gone....

I'm glad there is someone else saying the bug killers are hurting wild bird populations. Good luck getting that realized by those with money flowing into their coffers from the big businesses tho

Not sure who "they" are. The pheasant population decline runs right along with the west Nile scare we had. The year they started aerial spraying for mosquitoes was the begging of the end. Populations dropped 30 to 40 percent every year since. I agree Avian flu could of taken some birds but the chickens they keep out in the marsh at Gray Lodge don't lie. They test their blood all summer for disease . They've found every thing from malaria to avian flu. But the numbers aren't even close enough to justify that being the cause of the die off. Also I have first hand knowledge by seeing it happen for myself on my property. The first years of the spraying we had adult birds but a major lack of chicks. The age of the birds got older and they started disappearing with out enough young birds to replace them. The spraying didn't just kill the targeted mosquito but also killed all the little bugs baby pheasant chicks need to survive on for the first couple of weeks of their life. The birds starved to death.

Wonder if the liberals ever stopped to think that is what's killing the condors, and not lead.

Condors are dumb, they kill them selfs.

The pheasant is an introduced species to California. Our state government doesn't give a shit.

By that I meant I thought pheasants were non native to the entire continent of North America, not just non native to some states.

Yes, they are non native to our country. But Our state government doesn't give a shit in trying to get our DFG to save them. Like say the Dakotas for example have programs in place to strengthen and study their bird population backed by their state government and in turn their version of fish and game. They see it as a renewable resource that can provide a stream of income to their states. The California Government would rather have a Cock up it's ass then try to save one.

South Dakota isn't doing shit to strengthen their pheasant population except buying birds from farms and releasing them. Habitat loss is as big of a problem up there as in any state.

That's a bummer. I've always heard how that state try's to work with sportsmen. Guess pheasants forever is full of shit.

For the record, I fucking hate South Dakota. Freelance pheasant hunting is all but impossible and their OOS waterfowl tags are on a fucking draw. Fuck them, I'll go to North Dakota for the same price, have ample opportunity for pheasants and OTC waterfowl tags.

[aunt betty]

Now are y'all starting to see why waterfowl hunting has become so popular? Small game is mismanaged and not managed to the point where many gave up on pheasants and bought duck decoys.
I am one of those ppl. Quit chasing ditch parrots twenty years ago.

[assateague]

Where I live at the countryside used to be dotted with small farms like English countryside with hedge rows and fencerows galore.
In the mid 70's corn got unGodly high. $7/bushel which was high back then...the hedge rows went down. Then the houses and now nobody lives in the country where each section had once had one to six or even eight farms complete with kids that went to school.

The back lots, ditches, hedge rows, and clover...gone. There is nearly nowhere for a pheasant to live but "they'll be back in a year or two" (not) .
Habitat is birds. No habitat, no birds.

We have the habitat. Mosquito abatement killed our birds.

Actually they think now that the avian flu killed the California Pheasants.

Maybe you didn't hear RonE the first time, he said Avian flu

Turkeys are an introduced species also..........Are you saying that the State doesn't care about pheasant seasons or turkey seasons or limits? I think not.....The State will sure as hell try to control anything they can make a buck from.

Be careful what you wish for, especially in California and in other states too. In California, you can no longer take abalone south of the Golden Gate. You can no longer take mountain lions, you can no longer run bears with dogs. Be thankful that some bleeding heart liberal tree hugger, bunny fucking commie-pinko special interest group hasn't offered some politician a big campaign donation on the provision that they introduce a bill banning pheasant hunting until further studies are done. (Then the state won't fund the studies). You guys now have punch cards for lobsters and abalone tags and reduced limits for both.

Ask me again why I left California.

[aunt betty]

Because you can't spell rone with the letters in California?

Don't forget the delayed start on abalone diving. (No diving before 8:00 A.M.)
