Bales said biologists expected some level of renesting, but it's always a wild card. In short, hunters are finding a lot of birds. We're getting very good reports for pheasants in the traditional hot spots - the Columbia River and Snake River basins. We're seeing very good mountain quail numbers in southwest Oregon and even further north in the coast range. About the only species that is fairly spotty is chukar.
Hunters still have plenty of time to enjoy the windfall.
