Pheasants thrive with spring rain but decline in wet years
A Lake Plains study from 1960 to 1981 finds strong links between spring rainfall and pheasant populations, with dry years boosting numbers in the 1960s and wet springs from the early 1970s leading to declines.

Preliminary 1981 surveys suggest nest and chick numbers rose for a second straight year.
