3 Long-Term Pheasant Decline in Nebraska
4
5 Changes in Agricultural Land-Use *Source: Hiller et al. (2009) -Larger farms/fields -Less diverse crop rotations -Fewer grasslands -More effective weed control (herbicides) -Row crops > small grains -Fewer idle areas Pheasants are no longer a reliable by-product of agriculture and their numbers have predictably declined Habitat Loss and Fragmentation Production Predation Impacts from weather extremes

7 $848 Million 8,856 jobs $562 Million Retail
8 $502 million/year for pheasant hunting nationally Economic Impact per Rooster Harvested: $68/rooster (R) $118/rooster (NR) Avg. = $83/rooster *SOURCE: National Wild Pheasant Conservation Plan (2013) *Photo Credit: 8
9 Focus On Pheasants The Focus on Pheasants initiative began in 2002 as a partnership among Nebraska Game & Parks Commission (NGPC), Pheasants Forever, and the Nebraska office of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Focus on Pheasants initiative was in response to continued statewide declines in pheasant abundance.

11 Habitat Tours Early-Successional Habitat Initiatives (CRP, Public Lands) Pheasant Research
12 Nebraska s Berggren Plan Produce the best pheasant hunting experiences for the most people over the next five years. Driving Factors: 1) Increase pheasant abundance 2) Increase hunter access to land holding pheasants 3) Increase the pool of potential pheasant hunters 4) Manage hunter expectations appropriately
13 Nebraska s Berggren Plan Produce the best pheasant hunting experiences for the most people over the next five years. Consider all manageable aspects of the pheasant hunting experience, with habitat and access (particularly for youth) as cornerstone activities Guiding Principles Concentrate work where it will be most effective (i.e., where habitat, hunter access, and community support come together) based on sound science Set realistic management targets and expectations, and use financial and human resources as efficiently as possible to meet them Foster strong partnerships with other public entities, private conservation organizations, and local communities in reaching shared goals
14 Elements of Nebraska s Berggren Plan Funding and Policy Environment Manageable Factors Affecting Pheasant Abundance NGPC Private Lands Programs Partnership Assistance with USDA and NGO Conservation Program Delivery Acquisition and Management of NGPC Public Lands Pheasant Releases, Population Genetics Statutes and Regulations Affecting Hunting and Predator Populations Experiences and Education Influencing Landowner Values Manageable Factors Affecting Hunter Access to Land Public and NGO Lands Open to Hunting Open Fields and Waters (OFW) Program Increasing Hunter Access to Private Lands Statutes and Regulations Affecting Controlled Shooting Areas (CSAs) Manageable Factors Affecting Potential Pheasant Hunter Numbers RDR Programs and Partnerships Statutes and Regulations Manageable Factors Affecting Hunter Expectations NGPC Hunting Forecasts, Media, Marketing and Advertising
15 Nebraska Pheasant Habitat Suitability Model and New Focus and Opportunity Areas
16 Southwest and South-Central Focus on Pheasants (FOP) Areas Maintain high-quality grassland and cropland habitats and continue to provide additional hunting access opportunities Also locations of ongoing pheasant (SWFOP) and bobwhite quail (SCFOP) research
17 Northern and Southern Panhandle Pheasant Opportunity Areas Increase hunting access on small grain and high-quality CRP fields Explore new partnerships with local economic development/tourism groups
18 Northeast Pheasant Opportunity Area Establish new grassland habitat and increase hunting access opportunities Continue short-term set-aside (STSA) offering and explore potential avenues to increase scale This location includes several demonstration sites used to showcase CRP practices and associated pheasant management
19 Central Pheasant Opportunity Area Continue long-term partnership with Nebraska One Box group to enhance existing grasslands for pheasants and increase hunting access on private lands Emphasis placed on creating a corridor of suitable grassland habitat between Sherman Reservoir and Davis Creek WMAs
20 Central Platte Pheasant and Quail Opportunity Area Continue improving upland gamebird habitat on state-owned lands Expand on existing partnerships with various NGO landowners to maintain high-quality grassland habitat and increase hunting access Photo Credits: Chris Helzer/The Nature Conservancy
21 Southeast Pheasant and Quail Opportunity Area Photo Credit: RWBJV Complement existing conservation initiatives (Meridian Quail Initiative, Rainwater Basin Joint Venture, and the Sandstone Prairie Biologically Unique Landscape [under NNLP] )to enhance existing grasslands and wetlands and increase hunting access
22 Featured Wildlife Management Areas within Pheasant Focus and Opportunity Areas 17
23 Collectively, our objective is to positively impact one million acres of habitat over the next five years Obviously this is no small task and will necessitate the development and expansion of new and existing partnerships to meet overall objectives 805,000 acres of habitat improvements 122,000 acres of hunting access/year
