The man who tracks pheasant numbers in the state is expecting a good season when hunters take to the fields for opening day Saturday. D-N-R wildlife biologist Todd Bogenschutz says last year saw the best harvest in a decade and that sets things up for a good fall hunt. Not all areas of the state are equal.
There will be a lot of standing corn and beans this weekend and Bogenschutz says that could make it tougher to find birds.
