If you are a PF member, the 2025 Upland Bird Super Issue had a great article on the history of pheasants and pheasant hunting in Iowa (A Century of Iowa Pheasant Hunting). It shows in the 60s Iowa had harvests of almost 2 million birds a season. The old boys in their 80s and 90s are who you...

Thus the reason for hunting regulations. Well, change in habitat likely played as big of a factor.

MN PF Chapters are well supported! Enjoy the public acres they help provide and support PF financially.

I heard a couple good farms near me sold for $20K this week and a couple rougher pieces with some pasture ground sold for $8K and $9K. Doesn't really pencil out with $4 corn, even with corn yields around 270 or beans at 70/acre this year....it was a great production year with the wet summer we had.

Did PF have to out-bid the farmers or were the landowners who were selling, wanting it to go to PF and sold directly to them, maybe even at a below market price? Great for PF and all public ground hunters!!!

A buddy of mine had what was supposed to be a purebred GSP...I never thought it was, just by looking at it. That dog would lay down in the middle of a hunt, after hours, not minutes. Normally they won't quit,. On a warm day, I think they would die hunting if you let them go. Sounds like...

Are you still terrorizing the pheasant populations in a 10 county area this year?

There is usually a box of Little Debbie's in my truck. I generally eat breakfast, so I seldom am grabbing those. A 20oz Dt. Dew is generally consumed on the way home. The closest thing I have traveling to bird hunt, is traveling to shoot prairie dawgs. I take a 2 burner 413 Coleman stove...

Dang air medic, your a mess! They can do amazing things these days for sure. IHope the recovery goes as planned. I am just breaking into the 60s and have had several back issues, heart issues and now the normal joint pains coming on. I am thankful to have the habitat to be able to hunt for a...

I think A5 is the only one with much of a chance on 50 yard crossers, sporting that full choke tube and an autoloader. Maybe if BB were here, he could make that shot and then shoot it again before it is on the deck...just to make sure. I find pheasants that are much closer to me (than 50...

Do you take many 50 yard shots? Half a football field, that sounds like a good poke. If I would take a 50 yarder, it sure wouldn't be my 1st shot! Using my IC tube, not the best option for me. I should shoot my backstop and just see how many pellets I would have in a 30 inch circle at...

Dead plants are so hard to ID, for me anyway. Yellow nutsedge, from my experience, doesn't have much of a "nut", almost like an green onion. Curly dock has those "flat" seeds and mutures early...it could be that maybe, I don't recall ever pulling one. Those birds are pretty adaptive to find...

When I wear a vest it is a 15-20 year of Cabelas traditional. I have few requirements, 1st requirement is an easy front loading game pouch, secondly it needs to have 2 large bellowed shell pockets. After that, several misc pockets for phone, bell, face mask, etc. The front loader pouch work...

Just the sorghum from the food plots I planted.
