Hopewell (Langdon) Pheasant release site

[Skull Man]

Just wondering how others are making out with the birds this year at this site. Not sure if I keep hitting the tail end (just before the next release), but in years past it seems my dog and I have had much greater success. Have they scaled back the amount of drops per week, amount of birds dropped or anything different than in years past? I noticed the site opened at the end of August this year, wondering if they are doing the same amount of birds but over a longer period of time...or it's just me

My dog and I pushed two birds up the other day but we had to go out of our way and into some really tough areas to find them (hasn't been this bad in years past).

I really enjoy this site (how close it is to Calgary) but I suspect with it's popularity finding left over birds days after the drop will only get harder in years to come.
