RE: Iowa Pheasant
i live in northwest iowa.. and the numbers are the highest in the state around here. this time of the year concentrate on hunting groves around houses, or brushy areas with trees. there'll also be birds in crp, and after a good snowfall they'll hold really tight. this time of the year most of the public land is hunted out.... the way to go is on private. yesterday we went out and got 7 roosters between 3 guys in a couple hours. 3 were killed in a grove, and 4 were killed in small patches of grass and crp with corn on both sides... hunt slowly and thoroughly because the birds are under the grass and the snow drifts. a good dog is a must otherwise you're gonna walk right by 75% of them.
