Pheasant Nesting and Vegetation Development in Dense Nesting Cover Established Under the South Dakota Pheasant Restoration Program
Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) nest use of dense nesting cover (DNC) established under the Pheasant Restoration Program was evaluated in Beadle, Codington, Tripp, and Walworth Counties in South Dakota from 1978 to 1981. Nest densities and success in DNC plots were compared to those found in …

Ring-necked Pheasant Cover Use in Eastern South Dakota
Seasonal cover use of radio-tagged hen pheasants was analyzed and vegetative characteristics of nesting habitat identified in east-central South Dakota during 1983 and 1984. Radio telemetry locations were collected during the summer and fall of 1983 and winter of 1983- 1984 for cover use …

Effects of Polychlorinated Biphhenyls in the Ring-Necked Pheasant
In 1970 and 1971, cock pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) were given single capsules weekly containing 0 and 25 mg polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), Aroclor 1254, and hens were given O, 12.5, and 50 mg. Egg production was reduced (P<0.01) in the hens given 50 mg PCB both years. Fertility, determined by …

Pheasant Production Using Wild Cocks and Penned Game-Farm Hens
Pheasant production using free-flying wild cooks and penned game-farm hens was evaluated during 1971. Hens were placed in 0.5-acre pens to compare production at density levels of 10, 20, and 40 hens per acre. Wild cooks entered the 0.5-acre pens the day following introduction of the game-farm hens. …

Land Use Changes and Pheasant Declines in Eastern South Dakota
Changes in pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) nesting habitat were investigated on Windsor Township, Brookings County, South Dakota. The population was censused, nesting densities determined, cover was mapped, and an interspersion index determined in 197 7 and 1978. Comparison to a similar study …

Pheasant Use and Waterfowl Production on State and Private Lands
Ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) use on state-owned game production areas was compared to that on privately-owned areas in east-central South Dakota. Four 80-acre and four 160-acre tracts of state lands were paired with private areas of the same size having the same amount of wetland and …

Pheasant Reproduction and Survival as Related to Agricultural Fertilizer Use
Wing-clipped wild pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) were stocked in 1-acre and 0.5-acre pens having oat and bromegrass cover in 1972 and 1973 to test effects of fertilizer (Formulations: 34-0-0, 18-46-0, 0-46- 0, and 0-0-60) on pheasant reproduction and survival. One-half of the pens were fertilized …

An Evaluation of South Dakota Pheasant Preserve Habitat and Hunter Clientele
Habitat types on private pheasant hunting preserves in South Dakota were mapped during the summers and winters of 1987-88 and 1988-89. Control areas were randomly selected farmland of comparable geography and potential use within three miles of the preserve site. Efforts in the summer were directed …

Nesting Ecology of the Ring-necked Pheasant in Eastern South Dakota
Nesting of the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) was studied in 1973 and 1974 and 90 randomly chosen 4.05 – ha plots in the Lake Sinai Township of south-western Brookings County. Nest initiation and hatching peaks over the 2-year period occurred from 1-15 may and 16-30 June, respectively. …
