Area Provides Pheasant Cover In Wisconsin
The southeast quarter of Wisconsin spanning 21 counties from Green to Waushara and to Lake Michigan holds the state's best pheasant habitat. The Wisconsin Conservation Bulletin notes these counties carry about three-fourths of the statewide pheasant kill despite comprising less than a quarter of the area. Racine and Kenosha lead in kill per square mile, with Green Lake western Fond du Lac Winnebago and southeastern Green Counties also high. About one-third or more of the land offers good cover and food. 10 to 20 percent is marsh and 10 to 25 percent is corn.
