Title: Review of the 1994 Pheasant Season With Prospects For 1995

Title: Wildlife Division Report No. 3235

Collection Number: RG 2019-30

Scope and Content: 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.
