Too bad about N Dakota pheasants Greg. We dont have any quail in west Texas this year likely due to drought. The Michigan Ruffed Grouse appear to be down as well (I had a poor hunt last week in lower MI), people are saying due to West Nile Virus. Just a bad year, I guess. Is what it is, I suppose. One thing I noticed about the grouse we did find, they were wilder than the dickens. Couldnt hardly get a shot at one. I guess Mother Nature makes the birds extremely wild when numbers are low. Survival of the fittest and all....

Socialism is almost the worst.
