PHEASANT FACT FRIDAY - January is the coldest month of the year. A 2°F night with even a moderate wind of 11 mph creates a windchill of -25°F. How can pheasants survive such conditions? While you can wear another wool scarf or down vest, the pheasant has only the clothes it grew last July. In October it could ruffle its feathers for more insulation, but that's not enough now. The answer to staying alive in January is food and habitat. Each pheasant must increase its energy intake to offset the increased loss of body heat, and to maintain it's 108°F temperature. In January the bird needs 504 kcal/day for warmth and weight gain. This mid-winter dietary requirement is equal to two McDonald's hamburgers or three Snickers candy bars a day - nearly double that needed last October.

One of South Dakota’s best-kept secrets is the variety of camping options available to hunters throughout the entire pheasant season. Sure, a comfortable hotel room and a hot breakfast buffet have their place. But for self-sufficient hunters who crave the DIY experience — and who also prefer hearing a rooster cackle at dawn instead of a hallway door slamming at 5 a.m. — lodging options at South Dakota’s state parks and recreation areas should not be overlooked.

PHEASANT FACT FRIDAY - Winter nights are a freezing 15 hours long, and pheasants will be ravenous by breakfast time. The 10 grams of food in a bird’s crop at bedtime passed through in four to five hours. When the crop is empty, pheasants still have 10 hours of darkness until breakfast. During these long nights, the availability of roosting habitat is extremely important. This habitat is the idle grassland or wetlands cover where birds spend their nights. The quality of this habitat determines how much energy the birds need to stay warm ... in the same way the quality of your windows and insulation determines how many cords of wood you will need to stay warm. Without good roosting cover, birds must use more fat to survive until breakfast. A couple weeks of cold, 15-hour nights without roosting will kill pheasants.
