to continue to increase pheasant numbers, as well as to increase
hunters' access to land, and to promote pheasant hunting to
residents and nonresidents. As the commissioners learned as they
traveled throughout the state hunting public lands, if you have
habitat, the birds will come.

In February, we began a year-long process of constructing a
comprehensive plan to improve pheasant hunting in the state,
with the specific objective defined as "producing the best
hunting experience for the largest number of people possible." A
conceptual model was constructed detailing how we will reach
that objective (i.e., increasing pheasant abundance, increasing
hunter access to land, increasing the pool of potential pheasant
hunters, and managing hunter expectations appropriately). Specific
actions were identified for each objective.
