In 1994, there were 98 pheasant cooperators that completed special hunter report cards to gather additional information about the opening four days of the pheasant season. It showed the average pheasant cooperator spent 13.87 hours afield. The opening day reports of pheasant cooperators were in general agreement that there were more hunters than birds. About 70 percent of the cooperators thought the population was down, and just 16 percent thought it was up. Cooperators generally felt that predators were limiting bird numbers even in areas of good habitat. Cooperators flushed 1.46 pheasants per hour of hunting the first four days of the season.

The Wildlife Disease Laboratory monitored the health status of the various species of pheasants, housed at the Mason Wildlife Facility, (Hatchery and Rearing Unit) Rose Lake Hatchery Unit, Lazy Boy Chair Company in Monroe, the J.R. Whiting facility in Erie, and the Detroit Edison Club in Monroe County. Monitoring was done in order to detect diseases and other conditions which might threaten the success of the Southern Michigan Pheasant Program. When available, sick and dead pheasants were collected and examined on a weekly basis by personnel of the Wildlife Disease Laboratory. Necropsy results have been tabulated for the birds which were examined from the 6 units, following the descriptions of these findings.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) monitors pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) distribution and abundance using spring crowing surveys, summer brood surveys and harvest surveys. This report summarizes the results of crowing and summer brood surveys from 1955-1999 and discusses the historical trends in pheasant abundance in Michigan. Estimates of pheasant hunter harvest and efforts from harvest surveys are reported for the period 1955-1998. Crowing surveys were completed along 64 routes this spring. Survey personnel heard an average of 2.1 pheasant crows per stop. Surveys completed along 48 routes this spring were the same routes completed in 1998. Crowing counts were down on 24 (50%) of the 48 comparable routes, while the remainder increased or stayed the same. A total of 850 mail carriers returned usable survey forms. Mail carriers observed 0.55 broods per ten carrier-days this summer compared to 0.41 broods per ten carrier-days during 1998. The 34% increase in the brood index is encouraging, however, the index last summer was the lowest on record and pheasants remain at relatively low abundance. Hunter mail survey results from 1998 estimated a regular season harvest of 107,776 pheasants and a December harvest of 13,601. Again, about 80,000 hunters participated, spending about 378,348 days pursuing these gamebirds. This estimated harvest was about 29% higher than predicted last year.
