Government face as pheasant losses drift through fall
Alberta officials say assessing pheasant declines this fall is hard while Saskatchewan director Ernie Paynter contemplates possible bag limit cuts. He lauds sportsmen and farmers for feeding birds and notes a government fund to cover feed costs. Paynter warns of danger if another long cold spell comes. Manitoba reports light losses from storms with blizzards causing few livestock or game bird losses. Some Saskatchewan ranchers view heavy snow as easing water shortages, and the province sees no notable feed shortage.
