Northern Iowa Pheasant Hunt
Canned my Missouri deer hunt in lieu of 5 days in North central Iowa for some serious pheasant hunting. Old friends, good dogs, lots of flat farm land, starts Halloween day. Any bird hunters here?

You carry them with you for life.
I will be out in October here more interested in getting my son going and forming an attachment with a gun I wish I'd of found much earlier.

we are going with 2 britneys, sisters from the same litter now 4 yrs old. Reports are good We will see.
nothing like seeing a dog frozen on birds then do that step step step right with you until they flush. It always amazes me that every dog seems to have their own unique posture.
Treat yourself if you can.

There are about 12k acres of public land near where I live. Most of it surrounds 3 lakes, but some borders crop land. So, I went out Saturday afternoon to see if I could find some doves.
Let me tell you. There were birds everywhere I looked. The only problem is that 99.9% of them were swallows. There was also one very busy hawk looking for supper. I heard a little shooting, and saw some guys nearby drop a few, but the only one I had a chance at one was out of range before I noticed it (it came in from behind me). I'll probably try again later this year. It was better than sitting at home.
One last thing. When doves need to up their game on aerial acrobatics, they take lessons from swallows. If it had been swallow season, I could have shot until my eyes bled and still come home empty handed.
Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
