- Wyoming offers a limited number of licenses for issuing partridge hunting
- Game commission offers a limited number of licenses to hunt partridge
- The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission is offering a limited number of licenses for issuing Partridge hunting this year.
- Hunters should apply now for the chance to get a license for this hunt
- The good news is that the partridge population is up this year, thanks to some good breeding conditions.
- A partridge license costs $10, and the season runs from September 1 through November 30.
- The limit is two partridges per day, and six per season.
- Game birds like partridges provide an important food source for predators like hawks, owls, and foxes.
3. Pheasant, Partridge Forecasts Mixed for Iowa Hunters
Iowa's pheasant and partridge populations are expected to provide a mixed bag for hunters this fall, according to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Pheasant numbers appear to be down in north-central and northwestern Iowa, while populations in the south and east remain strong. Partridge numbers are up statewide.
"The forecast is good for some areas and not so good for others," said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist with the DNR. "Overall, we anticipate a decent pheasant season, but hunters should expect to hunt a little harder to find birds."
Bogenschutz said the Extremely Poor rating in north-central Iowa is due to low habitat quality as a result of persistent drought. The Fair rating in northwest Iowa is mostly due to low brood counts. Pheasant numbers appear to be up in the south and east, where habitat conditions are generally better.
Partridge populations statewide are up from last year, which could lead to increased opportunities for this species. Best hunting is typically found on early morning or evening flights when birds are feeding or moving to roosting areas.
The 2017 Iowa Hunting Seasons Summary report forecasts a mixed bag for upland game bird hunters this fall throughout the state of Iowa with decreased pheasant populations in North-Central Iowa due to lack of rainfall creating low quality habitats , increased Partridge populations Statewide, wise decisions will have to be made when choosing what days work best hunting these two Midwest favorites during the season opener on October 14th .
4. Study: Partridge in decline across much of Europe
According to a new study, the population of Eurasian collared doves, also known as partridges, is in decline across much of Europe.
The study, which was conducted by the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, found that the population of Eurasian collared doves has declined by up to 70 percent in certain areas.
The main reasons for the decline are thought to be hunting, loss of habitat, and climate change.
The study also found that the Eurasian collared dove is now classified as being "vulnerable" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
This is worrying news for conservationists and bird enthusiasts alike, as the Eurasian collared dove is a beautiful and iconic bird that is found throughout much of Europe.
5. Game bird populations stable in Northumberland
Despite concerns over the future of game bird populations in Northumberland, a study by the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) has found that their numbers are stable. The research, which was carried out in partnership with Natural England, looked at 10 species of game bird and found that all were either stable or increasing in number.
The GWCT has welcomed the findings, but warns that continued management is essential to ensure that these populations remain healthy. Nick Ainsley, Head of Monitoring and Research at the GWCT, said: "These results are very encouraging and show that effective management is making a real difference to game bird populations. However, we cannot take our foot off the gas; continued work is needed to ensure these species continue to thrive."
The study found that red grouse were doing particularly well, with numbers up by 47% since 2000. This can be attributed to increased moorland management, which has helped create better habitat for the birds. Other species which showed population increases include lapwing, golden plover and curlew.
While the news is good overall, there are some exceptions. Numbers of black grouse and brown hares have both declined in recent years, although the reasons for this are not clear. The GWCT is carrying out further research into these declines and plans to publish its findings later this year.
