Game Commission Reports on China Pheasant Crop
The State Game Commission notes Oregon pheasant hunting this season is below past years due to a cold rainy spring that killed the first hatch. Second and third hatches fared better in warm dry weather, while quail hunting in open counties remained cool. Open counties show more birds than closed ones, thought to result from flock breakup reducing inbreeding and nonfertile eggs.
