    How fast conditions change.

    At this point, I am sure I can raise pheasants better that corn or sorghum. Pencil-in a trip to NW part of the state.

    How fast conditions change.

    Exactly. The farm with all the birds is 154 acres of great habitat and 6 acres of food plots. We have 2 other farms with creeks that have filter strips, those amount to around 5 acres each, if you flushed 20 birds out of one of those, it would be a lot. Between 10 and 20 would be what you...

    2024 Harvest numbers for Iowa

    They can't ask everyone, guessing every state does it quite similar. Guessing they use an average harvest that is reported, times the percentage of hunters that report going pheasant hunting...but not nearly that simple or maybe it is a simple deal. I have had a hunting license for close to...

    How fast conditions change.

    I certainly could have, on a label I just googled, (similar hericide) for grain sorghum 5-15" high...use drops if over 8". This label said 2 thirds of a pint/acre, I thought mine said 1 pint...I used 1 pint and I am not equipped with drops, so some crop damage would not be a surprise, I didn't...

    How fast conditions change.

    There are different food plots pictured, each of these were planted 3 times. The fist planting had one-third corn and the the balance wes sorghum. In the second pic above you can see one corn plant that survived (upper right), the birds really got after the seeds. I ended up spreading shelled...

    More public land for North west SoDak

    Careful, on posting where PF helped give public land hunting opportunities. We have more than a few that are PF haters here. I am sure you won't catch them on any ground PF had a hand in....right!

    How fast conditions change.

    The climate has seemed to have changed here, another 1.25" of rain this week. Here are a couple pics of some of the food plots. A lot of grass coming through, but at least I have finally have some of the target crop survive. That sorghum needs to get growing and heading out. There was a...

    How fast conditions change.

    Received .45" over the weekend and a bit over .8" last night. The crops look awesome around here. The last several years the chicks had hot & dry weather to deal with, at least it has been warm with these rains. We had a pretty awesome carry-over, there will be a bumper crop of birds again if...

    Most Satisfying Shot

    I think in those situations when you are physically about spent, your concentration becomes more acute. It is a huge rush of relief mixed with a good amount of satisfaction folding a rooster with a tough shot in those conditions. Been there before also.

    How fast conditions change.

    Finished spraying the plots today. Took a pic of the plot I left yesterday, if you zoom-in, the left side you can see the velvet leaves, but on the right side (where I sprayed yesterday), they are all rolled and wilted. In this plot, there were a lot of places with no sorghum. I will feed...

    How fast conditions change.

    I sprayed about 4 acres of food plot this afternoon, saw one chick and he was small, but got airborne! Hope to spray the remaining tomorrow, winds, should be much calmer.
