That would leave only one day on the weekend, and the crowding would make it unsafe. With the random releases, those "shooters" seem to have given up, I haven’t seen them in years. I can't comment on weekends, because I avoid weekends, but the system seems to be working much better now on weekdays.
You are right about the predation,I guess dead is dead shot or eaten. I wish they would find another way for pheasant hunters to get some sport. Was a time when wild birds did well in Alberta.
