[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3049589, member: 40561"] Few things happened at once: 1) HARSH winter 2) Ethanol prices went way up When the Ethanol prices went way up, farmers started pushing out what use to be great cover to plant their crops in less desirable places. They even built an ethanol plant in town a few miles from where we hunt. A bunch of corporations bought up land that used to be CRP and is now just corn field from road to road...no fence lines, no ravines, no low spot cover..nothing. Old homsteads got pushed in and farmed over, etc etc etc. When all that was going on, they had a terrible winter followed by drought..and the pheasants just havent been able to recover. And now, what little cover IS left, leaves the birds easy pickins for the Coyotes. It was just a perfect storm of crap to happen. I dont BLAME the farmers...its their job to grow crop...but they certainly helped the situation. I hear out west its getting better every year...but its certainly not made its way to where we are.
