Town PHone (include area code). mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmi Two years ago hunters complained about a shortage of rabbits, and a Game Commission survey showed that the cottontail harvest was indeed below the norm for recent years. The pheasant harvest was also off in 1978. However, the harvest of both pheasants and rabbits rebounded last year, and the outlook for bunnies this year is even better than in 1979. This fall, district game protectors reported that their supply of cottontails, at least in September, was at an excellent level in two counties, good in 47 counties, faif* in 16 counties, and poor in only one county. The best rabbit populations seem to be in eakem counties. Ringneck pheasant supplies are not at the all time record level of a few years ago, and with changing land use patterns, probably will never again be that high. When any game species population readies a peak, there is only one direction the supply can go, and that is down. But the pheasant supply is at a fair level. In September, district game protectors rated their pheasant populations as good in 10 counties, fair m 52 counties, and poor in 4 counties. The best pheasant hunting will be found in counties in the southern part of the state. The outlook for turkeys is probably the most exciting part of this year’s pre-season P.O.

Game nffioials believe that the total turkey population in the state now exceeds 100,000 birds. In September, district game protectors in 11 counties rated their turkey supplies as excellent, 30 counties reported good populations of the big birds, 14 counties bad fair levels of turkeys, and the birds were in poor supply or nonexistent in 12 counties. Game protectors report that the best turkey hunting this year should be in southcentral counties, followed closely by nox theastem and northcentra. counties.
