I got 80 acres at Willow Slough, Dennis Donohue (#8), on 11/18 for pheasant and rejected for upland hunts at Goose Pond.
Anybody else get anything good?

Got rejected for Goose Pond (that means the quail are safe for another year). Didn't get drawn for the pheasant hunt lottery.

Negative for Goose Pond, but I did get drawn for a December 23rd pheasant hunt. I have never been, but I will likely go to Flatrock a time or two between now and then.  |

Negative for me and the other two hunters that I team up with. The three of us have been applying for the draw hunts for 7 years and have been drawn three times.
I'll try again next year.

Question for all of you, I have only 1 time been picked for a pheasant hunt and it was great.
My question is; If indiana can have quality hunts on those select properties, why can't we have birds like we used to have in the 70's?? Kingsbury had a very healthy population and it has never been able to come back.
Any comments?

Kingsbury had a very healthy population and it has never been able to come back. Any comments? It seems as though the DNR actively manages its properties in the Western counties for pheasant, and they have been successful....so that seems to be the key....manage properties for the birds. Now, those counties had/have a higher pheasant population to begin with, but there are other pockets in the state that could be used to help the population. Prairie land is also another key. Those western counties were always mostly prairie, unlike the Northern part of the state which had the trees removed for crop land. If you've ever been to those western counties, the soil is black, much different than we have in the Northeast...According to some, black soil, more nutrients, better egg survival, etc. |
