Between all the above and hunters along with getting run over by a tractor they have a lot going against them.

Interesting how someone thinks an animal can just change their nesting routine after doing it for literally centuries

Wrap bacon around the breast, it’s eatable

You think birds like pheasant and quail make a conscience decision to nest on the ground?

It this thing called evolution. You might want to check into it.

And a wedge jalapeño had a friend that put a little cream cheese in as well but that wasn't my favorite. Some people liked the cream cheese though.

Dove jalapeño poppers are one food that I will make myself sick from overeating.

Breaded and fried are damn good, too.

I've been hunting western Kansas for pheasant every single year going back 20 years. Typically around Colby, KS. Over 15 years ago, there was an insane amount of pheasant. I remember walking one single 1 mile field of CPR, and getting over 50 birds between ~15 of us. It has steadily went downhill though, over the last 10 years. We walk the same fields as before, and maybe get 3-4 roosters in an entire day. Drought has really decimated the pheasant population.

Drought has decimated all populations.

It was meant mostly tongue-in-cheek. You might want to check into it.

Also, I'm sure there's good proctologist not to far away to have that stick removed from you ass. Might want to check into it.

Sure it was.

It might be believable except you doubled down on ignorance with your comment on birds of prey.

A 2 second Google search will prove that birds of prey have an effect on the pheasant population.

Todays Labor Day so all the proctologists are most likely going to be unavailable for an appointed. First thing tomorrow if you're going to keep gracing us with your presence, Dumppy.

Have a good Labor Day and get a life.

Pawnee county this week we saw more pheasants than in many years as well as quail and even saw three broods of turkey in a 5 mile drive next to the Ark River
