Breeding conditions were good and not too many birds were lost, the game officials said. Heavy rains last week wiped out the fear that the fields would be too dry for the hunters and their dogs.

The rains and heavy frosts also cut down the heavy foliage which would have made the pheasants harder to find. The pheasants were expected to become more elusive as the season wore on. During the first few days of the season, the pheasant is usually pretty easy to shoot, game experts noted. But then the remaining birds become more cautious and hunting them becomes a matter of considerable skill. No great absenteeism was reported in the schools or factories here.
