This has been the situation in Iowa for quite a while. The only cover now is along waterways, and with the wet cold springs nesting is toast. As long as there is more money in corn than there is in pheasants, you probably don't want to spend a lot of time and money traveling. The numbers here are so low my daughter called me a couple weeks ago, all excited, to tell me she had seen a hen! The really old guys have stories about the Soil Bank, We tell stories about CRP, hope my kids have something to tell stories about. Mark Robson
