Went out today for only about 30 minutes. Saw 5, got 2. Only 3 were in range.

I went out again today with 2 of my buddies in 4 hours we had 3 roosters in the bag one cripple that we lost and saw about 6 other roosters that either got up out of range or got up with other birds and flew away. We saw at least twice as many hens. My GSP had some nice points andmy buddies lab had some nice flushes. One of these Weekends I will be able to hunt a full day without other obligations.

It's awful quiet around here. Everybody must be out scaring birds. I'll be heading off to Northwest Iowa this weekend. I finally have my brace removed after some surgery and I'm looking forward to getting out. My dog is going nuts and frankly, so am I. I've heard that the birds are plentiful, but stay close to a water source. Good luck to all.

Just got back from Iowa. Sorry I didn't see your email before I left. We had really rough hunting conditions this weekend, but I think we still ended up with good results. We hunted within a 20 mile radius of Spencer. Friday it was 72 and windy and Saturday it was 50ish, rain and windy (oh and tornado warnings). I appreciate your offer and would still like to talk to you for next year.

What a tough weekend it was in Iowa. Had great results. Seven pheasants on Saturday. Was dumb enough to go out on Sunday in the wind for about an hour and got 2 roosters, should have had my limit but the gun wasn't shooting very straight.

RE: Iowa Pheasants
 

Friday we ended up with 7 between 3 of us. We probably saw 24 - 30more that either were too far in front of us or weren't shootable. On Saturday we brought back9 more and saw another 12-18 that we couldn't touch. Tough conditions both days, but a great trip none the less.

hey porknbeans glad to hear you had some pretty good hunting and ya the conditions did kinda stink last weekend i went with another guy and we got 2 well actually i got 2 but o well. so thats 42 for me this year. but i never get tired of pheasant you can eat it in bout anythingwell im in aurelia iowa about 45 miles sw of spencer so you were pretty close if you make it back up this way again you may try the laurens area i have heard of good numbers up there. good luck on the rest of the year.

One of my friends that I hunted with lives in Cherokee and works in Royal. That sort of splits the difference to Aurelia. 42!! Unless I go to a game farm there is no way I'll ever get that many birds around here. However, after hunting this last weekend, I can see how you can get that many. It was nice to get back to Iowa after being away for so long.
