Congrats to all who were drawn. I have applied for 20 some odd years and have never been drawn. I think that if your drawn then you shouldn't be able to apply again for a certain period off time to give people who haven't ever been drawn a better chance of getting the opportunity to be drawn to...

I’ve hunted NW Iowa 10 of the last 13 years and have seen 2 coveys with no shots fired on Huns. That’s hunting for a week each year from legal start to finish time and covering a lot of miles. So I wouldn’t hold my breath on finding very many but good luck and I hope you do find some.

Congrats on a great hunt. I’m definitely jealous. Hope you have a great rest of the season

Congrats and good luck! Let us know how you did.

I think this was year17 without getting drawn. I was hoping that I would since I haven’t been able to go out of state the last 2 years. I’m hoping for a good woodcock migration and the quail population is up.

The funny thing is I have never shot a double on pheasants. I always miss the second one.

I had a day 6 years ago in NW Iowa where I missed 6 straight roosters. it was the last day of our week long hunt and I had shot really well all week until that day. When we got to the last spot of the day I put my O/U in its case and pulled out my 870 half way through the field 3 roosters flush...

Awesome hunt KBell. I hunted the Emmetsburg / Spencer area the second week of November we had a lot of wind and cold temps but we saw a lot of birds but they had their track shoes on and were flushing out of range. I love hunting that area for the people are great and the hunting has been good...

Welcome to the site. It's nice to hear that someone is taking care of the pheasant population in NW Iowa. It's been 3 years since I've been up there hunting but I hope to get back soon.

Been going to my two daughters volleyball tournaments. My youngest daughter has been having indoor softball practice and pitching lessons the last couple of months and my oldest had high school softball practice tonight. So starting in a couple of weeks the high school season starts and then my...

I got a 52%. I swore I knew more than that about pheasants!

I have one in a 12 and love it! I use it on 90% of my hunts except on an occasion I will break out my old Rem. 1100. I have been thinking about getting another one in a 20.

I just bought my 12 year old daughter a Mossberg Super Bantam a few months ago. It came with a 22 inch barrel with 3 choke tubes and a rifled slug barrel. I think it cost 370.00 before tax. She hadn't shot a shotgun before but we took it out the day we got it and she fell in love with it. It's...

There are no equipment or ammunition restrictions when hunting pheasants in Indiana. But it would be very irresponsible to shoot at a flying pheasant with a rifle.

I just started a thread on UQ and didn't have a problem except it took 2 tries to get logged on. I'm glad to see someone else that goes to that site.
