I just got back from a north central trip for deer (unit 2-3) Mid day pheasant was almost a waste of time, it is a waste of time but no hunting qualifies as that ! Any way the quail were OK Saw about 50 pheasants in a week or so, not long ago it was 50/hour average. we got two roosters in 10 days, should have had 4-5 Almost none seen in farm yards/shelter belts, none heard going/coming to roost while on deer stand. It was really sad
