this was one of the more enjoyable pheasant hunting season than i have had since the 80's. and my o my, it sure doesn't seem like he hurt the population much, this late winter there was birds everywhere, and now in the evenings the roosters are really calling. i hope and pray we don't have a...

there was a question asked in another post of why Iowa charges like a $140 or a little more to hunt? good question seems high , i agree. and the poster went on to say it is way more than other states? what do S. Dakota charge and what are the limitations? i know that N Dakota was around $100...

well... its back to work this morning after the opening day " national holiday" . the same three of us went out that have for the past 15 years. our ages 83-62-35. and a 10 year old dog. it was a fantastic weekend. we dont cover the ground we use to but we sure the heck saw more birds than...

lol. i tried to find where you guys that responded were from, not smart enough i guess... but cattails are one thing we dont really have any of, unless your on the marsh, decoys out, and hunting ducks. have a good winter

as the season comes to a close this week, i think it has been quite the hunting season...several more hours in the field this year with the nice weather. a whole lot more birds than in the past, not quite like the 80's, but i really believe we are getting there, with the help of this winter...

well... our shooting eye's weren't very good but the hunt was FANTASTIC. my 82 year old friend from out of state came back for a second hunt this weekend. and it is great to see the birds !!! lots of birds. i know from my weekly hunts that the populations are very good....compared to the past...

yes bird population appears to be up, but birds acting a little strange. every field we have hunted when the dog get up a bird and you shoot the whole field ahead of you erupts !!! we hunt the rest of the crp field, 20-40 acres, and the dogs don't even get birdy.. strange they are bunched so...

well at 4:30 the season comes to an end for another year. the worst day of the year. yes I had a tough year, and actually had feet on the ground way more this year than in the past. the temperatures and lack of snow allowed this. but the bird's on my cleaning table were way down. but like...

Interesting therory i have ! In the 3 mile area around my house, i have alot of crp ground that has been in for 15-20 years. So when i have hunted , even when the population was down i saw lots of birds.... Is it possible that the increase of crp ground in my neighborhood, "7 new parcels...

I am hunting the same private ground I have hunted for over 20 years. crp/heavy fencelines. over the past few years when the count was way down, the dog and I had plenty of birds to chase..... never had a problem flushing birds. this year on opening day we all decided the numbers were about...

yes I involve my grandkids, but just wondering how old everybody was when they were allowed to start carrying a gun? my family rule in the 70's was .... you walked along and learned until you were age 13, you then got the family 4-10 for the year, and on our 14th birthday my grandfather would...

grandkids can't wait for us to come home with pheasants. this was opening day at noon. good times

the same four guys hunted the exact same ground as last year on opening day. last year corn still standing on the north side of crp ground this year it was still standing on the south side. we hunt till noon to satisfy the older guys. we decided the bird count was very close to the same over...

good pheasant hunting: is hunting with my 84 year old friend who taught me a lot about bird hunting and working with my dog. he gave me my first dog 40 years ago out of his litter. just watching the dog work and being with friends. as for the actual bird, any, is just a bonus. I hunt in Iowa...
