Im from north central Iowa. Hunted half a day today n got our limit easy. I also got the biggest bird of my life today. Getting it mounted the tail feather was 25 1/2 with out pulling it out. In January id find some dreg ditches with thick cover. Thats not snowed in. Most of the farmers will let you hunt if you ask, this late in the season. The birds will be very spooky so make sure you have posters. Everyone says the bird number is down, but doesn't seem like it to me. What towns ya hunting by?
