Upland Game Night School

During the month of Oct., 2011, the Focus on Pheasants effort in southwest Nebraska concentrated on research activities. Game and Parks staff were trained in capturing pheasants at night under the direction of T. J. Walker, management section district manager in North Platte. The crew captured and banded 152 roosters within the focus area. Hunter reports of these banded birds will help measure harvest rates, hunting pressure and success on these areas. The training and information gained this year also will help Game and Parks gauge the feasibility of more extensive studies of pheasant responses to our habitat and access program projects in the future.
