I think if we still get rain late in January or early in February, a decent amount, we may be able to make up what was lost. If it is too far into February, it is too close to the onset of nesting. |
I think we have a better incentive package to put forward thanks to the input we have received. |
If weather conditions don't improve soon, habitat and weather conditions will hurt the initial nesting attempts this spring. |
Places with cover are going to fare better than those that don't. The other thing is temperature. It is not just being dry, but being hot and dry. |
Reports from the field indicated a good number of birds in the northern part of the state, but hunting conditions were not always as bountiful. |
