Great video! Thanks for sharing.

I love the flush!!!

I hunted on some IHAP land in Iowa last fall and the cover was amazing! There was times when it was shoulder high and we did flush birds! I hope the IHAP Program takes off in Iowa!

Decorah 22 point, this year 18 point, growing up deer's hanging weight, the norm was 220, farms now spray with aircraft and it drifts

It's amazing there's any pheasant to hunt at all in Iowa. 23 thousand acres is really just a drop in the bucket! But I suppose it's better than nothing in a state that's 98% privately owned.

I agree birds numbers will never be same farmers wanna tear everything up even the stuff they can't farm think they get bored

Theirs two things two hunting Iowa wait till corn is out and hunt in the central or northwest part where their are birds.snow helps too

bird counts were lowest in the southwest corner i thought, seemed like you guys had some birds moving around. especially in those bigs fields if there’s not super high #s

i hunt in north Dakota there are a lot of birds here and i have shot a lots pheasants here in north Dakota

It’s sad to think but Iowa will never get close to the bird numbers it once had. I’ve seen first hand how many fields had been taken out since my dad started hunting our farmers private land in Eastern Iowa in the late 90s. It’s a simple concept, No land= No birds and unless the field is impossible to farm or the farmers get equal pay for CRP acres they’re just going to pull everything out

We had the same issue in our area in NE. A few rough summers with drought combined with farming from ditch-to-ditch left our numbers really low. The weather has been decent for the past few years, and that helps numbers, but it will never be the same as it was 30 years ago.

What happened? It’s called farming subsidies.

first one to comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We ask to have the Iowa Dnr release birds and they refuse , us hunters pay the bills give us what we ask , you can have all the habitat but that won’t produce the the birds put them there and let umm grow in numbers !

Why not just come to South Dakota with better pheasant hunting

Ya there's not many birds in iowa.

Yeah i can have my limit by 930 am most days. No birds at all.lol

They keep advertising for Pheasants forever . They are using donations to make private hunting lodges where they charge $1000 a day to hunt the habitat your money created. The land is POSTED that you spent your money on.

enough with the "rooster" yelling! Really annoying.
