[QUOTE="cacsrx1, post: 1820253, member: 38575"] I have lived in central SD all my life (43 years). The last five years are the worst I have ever seen as far as bird numbers. Game Fish and Parks doesnt want you to know that because they want to sell out of state licences, period......end of story. Places that literally held thousands of birds a few years ago dont have any now. There isnt any less habitat or any more predators then there was 10 years ago. Sooo then it gets blamed on nesting conditions, too wet, too cold, too dry, to hot, a bad hail storm killed them all...etc. IMO thats all BS. When the commercial hunting lodges release their "chickens" oh oops I mean pen raised replacement birds into the wild by the 10,000's they are bound to carry a disease that the wild birds cant take. 2 years ago virtually all the adult birds disappeared from February to June. I suppose they died of old age. [/QUOTE]
