1958 - The perfect pheasant season in South Dakota
Most pheasant hunting seasons come and go, recalled only by certain events: a puppys first retrieve, a first double or that rare triple, partners and dogs now long deceased. Maybe its a picture of that Thanksgiving day hunt or a Christmas hunt in the snow with a late season limit. The specific year seems mostly forgotten. When it is remembered, it is often long ago.

CRP Survives Early Outs Talk, but Soil Bank Tragedy Looms - Jul. 29, 2008
Pheasants Forever (PF) and Quail Forever (QF) support the U.S. Department of Agriculture's decision not to offer "early outs" to Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts without penalty.

However, PF/QF warns of further trouble ahead for CRP, which has already seen 3 million acres leave the program with an additional 13 million more acres in line for expiration in the next three years.
