I don't know what happened to him.
I think they got eaten by some freezer somewhere.
And after that whole experience, it took me 11 more years to try hunting again.
So it's fair to say this didn't exactly light my fire, which is why an article by Jordan Hanson at the Daily Montanan caught my eye as Montana FWP seeks permission to increase pheasant stocking by over 400%, all in the name of young hunter recruitment.
So brief history on pheasant stocking in Montana.
In 1930, the Warm Springs Pheasant Farm opens, and that's over near Deer Lodge here in southwest Montana.
And the intent was specifically to bolster pheasant populations.
I don't know what was going on at the time.
The information is not very clear.
That's back when they thought stocking would... Gotcha.
Oh, we'll get into it.
And so at its peak, that operation again, which was the intent was population stocking was 15,000 birds annually.
So that runs for 52 years.
And although we might've learned the lesson quickly, it took them 52 years to turn it off.
That pheasant farm closes, uh, which was, it released about a total of 450,000 birds over the 50 year life, which again is about 52,000 or 15,000 annually.
And it was cited to be too expensive, very inefficient.
And that FWP themselves found that habitat improvement was a far better use of funds for some, some stuff we're going to go into.
Um, 1987, they codify the habitat improvement in the upland bird game enhancement program, which we'll call UGBEP, uh, which is $1.5 million specifically for habitat for upland birds.
Um, and that's through cost share projects where you have a, a rancher plant a shelter belt or habitat leases and a few other, a few other, um, habitat improvement options.
If you guys know anything more about those habitat improvements, that'd be great, but that's all I found.
