I’m looking to come to South Dakota to pheasant or grouse hunt; how are the pheasant numbers?
A:
GFP staff and field biologists conduct a pheasant brood route survey in early August. The results of that survey are then available in late August. Be sure to check out the most recent information on the brood count survey results (current year and ten year trends). This will help in identifying where a larger population base of the year’s pheasant hatchings.
