Glad to hear you found some, not too many good reports from Kansas this year.

That's a nice morning. I went for a couple hours with a friend and saw a few hens. There was some snow down here yesterday but not enough to bunch them up. It looks like that is coming tomorrow, I can't wait.

I listened as my college team did that yesterday. The Hawkeyes aren't known for offense, the opposite actually but with a 10 point lead early 3rd, they shut down the offense and spent the rest of the game losing the lead.

Vewwy, vewwy quiet. It's not rocket science, its wabbit huntin.

Each time I go to hunting at Neal Smith I'm struck with one of two things. Where are all the birds? Or man these birds are smart. Today was both. Long walk through lots of good cover, only bird I saw was a hen my lab tracked around in a 1/4 mile circle. What have y'all experienced out there?

Do they winter there, or are you catching them on their route further south?

When will the web gurus figure out that we need a new punctuation character, the sarcastophe.

Interesting that the skeet choke had the best numbers. Is that from shotcup design?

I really enjoyed my trip to westriver ND last October for the first week of their nonresident pheasant season. I camped at a national forest (grassland) so dispersed camping was free. I saw plenty of pheasants even though I was targeting sharptail. Message me if you want more specifics I'd be...

Looks like an awesome hunt. You must be from south of me, what state were you hunting?

@Bob- I'm glad to hear that your "rant" was hyperbole, it did sound out of character but I'm newer to the forum and wasn't sure. All good hyperbole must have a seed of truth, you do bring up some good reasons to avoid hunting the ditches especially dog safety. I haven't sworn off hunting the...

Many of the behaviors and actions that you mention and are repulsed by are already illegal. As you yourself said "Break one rule, break them all". How does making the right-of-way off limits to those who will follow the rules, correct the illegal actions of the rule breakers?

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you McHunter. My favorite spot locally was an IHAP that went out of the program this last year, not sure if it timed out or was because it changed hands. I believe IHAP ground is pretty well utilized here. I started the opener this year on one and had 3...

Unless it was just added to IHAP (and probably CRP) I have found them to be better habitat and better managed than the other public hunting areas. I am in South Central where we don't have very good pheasant ground unless it is managed for that. It usually takes about 2 full years for the...

I went out this afternoon on private, I heard shots around but nothing close. The wind was a challenge today.

The groups that still do drives and hunt as a party throw alot of lead. Lots of those groups are breaking up though. I decided not to go out today and I haven't even heard shots at home.

The number of bucks I kick up during my pheasant hunts, maybe they should.

I am wondering about following my dogs tomorrow in a few public areas tomorrow. But with the Deer Gun season opener I'm wondering how wise that would be. Any of you Iowa pheasant phanatics going out tomorrow?
