Has any seen how many pheasant at being stocked per WMA? Last year I had a print out of how birds are stocked daily at each WMA and the yearly total. Has the state put that out yet?

idk if they have it out yet...ill check for ya...

 

[mack]

i read somewhere on the site that they are going to stock 55,000 birds this season but i couldnt find the schedule..

 

[mpemt24]

I know the stocking days, but they have a schedule of how many birds per day.

Check this week and next weeks Sunday Starledger
They usually have the allocation and numbers of Trout, Pheasant and Quail.

I have not seen it out yet. Only info so far is 55,000 for the year for all the WMA's.

 

[mpemt24]

Same as every year I guess.

 

[TJC]

Unless something drastic happens, I see them doing about the same as last year. Probably putting close to the same amount in the same WMA's as last year. I don't know about the others, but Flatbrook was very nicely stocked last year. [up]

 

[mack]

whittingham was stocked well also...we shot triple the amount of birds that we shot the year before. [up]

I had to move locations at Flatbrook to get birds. Old location was not stocked at all.

 

[mack]

i went to the delaware water gap and didnt see or hear anything..went a little down the road to flatbrook and within 10 minutes i had a bird. it seems like some places are stocked and others arent stocked at all.

My brother and I limited out almost every day at Flatbrook last year. We hunted every Tues and Thurs. We never left without a couple of birds, but 4 was the norm.
I will say that Flatbrook has become more crowded with people also. I've hunted up there for about 5 years and the people have definately found out about the area. That is why I don't go near it on Sat. I'll stick with the gun clubs on Sat and Sun.[up]

I had a spot there that people kept leaving. By last year there were only 5 guys. That had put birds there every year since I started to 94. But last year the put out nothing. THey didn't even seem to out any across the river. I had to move to the "Killing Fields." I always stayed away to avoid the crowds.

 

[mack]

i have heard that flatbrook is crowded...[down]...whittingham is only crowded in the first 15 minutes of hunting...then everybody starts splitting up and going different ways...

 

[mpemt24]

Flatbrook is no different.

 

[mack]

how is it on thanksgiving??

 

[mpemt24]

I haven't shot a bird on Thanksgiving in 5 years. I would rather goto the killing fields on a saturday.

 

[TJC]

I don't do Sats and I would never attempt Thanksgiving. Those days are for the gun clubs only.

 

[mack]

i go to whittingham every saturday, opening day, and thanksgiving and always do well...whittingham isnt even close to being as crowed as flatbrook...

 

[mpemt24]

They also don't stock as many birds there either. However, I have kicked up pheasants there in January deer hunting.
