You need to be writing short stories. My wife and I own a farm near Bloomington, Il. While the corn crop was excellent as was the price, our pheasants are practically gone. Our farmer farms over 1000 acres mostly corn and never kicked a bird out of the corn this year while combining. Coyotes everywhere.
It is indeed sad no one traps any more. From your comments I am assuming your farm is exempt from these predators.
