Bird hunters show-up in big numbers when pheasant and chuckers are stocked by the state in wildlife management areas.  It’s no surprise they wake up early for the day because the birds that are not harvested that day most often become quick prey to owls, hawks, foxes and coyotes.  When walking through an area days after a stocking I found what I believe to be coyote scat with pheasant quills sticking out of it.
