    Aberdeen Area Trip Report - Oct 22 thru Oct 25

    Oh yea no problem! The folks on this forum are rock solid. We are a select few old school die hard left out there. We are on the same team. I’ve been following this forum since I was a senior in high school back in 2011 I believe. I still check it daily almost 14 years later. I always enjoy...

    Iowa's opener is today.

    Our group of 8 shot 17 birds on public land on the opener. We had a great time! Bird numbers seemed to be similar to last year. We did see a ton of hunters, but had a very enjoyable hunt. Having all of the corn out always helps!

    Aberdeen Area Trip Report - Oct 22 thru Oct 25

    We really didn’t see many hunters on public land at all. We did see quite a few big groups but they were all hunting private ground. Our rooster to hen ratio was actually really high we all thought! I feel like it was truly 50/50. Now the roosters definitely ran more while the hens sat tight...

    Aberdeen Area Trip Report - Oct 22 thru Oct 25

    great question! From 10-12 we usually got 3-5 birds. From 12-3 it was brutally slow, maybe 1 bird avg per day. from 3 to sunset we usually shot 5-6 birds with our group of 4. Those last two hours of the day were by far the best. Midday was super slow

    Aberdeen Area Trip Report - Oct 22 thru Oct 25

    Love this forum, thanks to all members who won’t let it die on us. I’d rather be here than a Facebook group any day. We hunted public land only all around Brown, Spink, and Beadle counties week. With 4 guys we easily had chances to shoot 12 birds all 4 days. We do hunt ALL day on these trips...

    November Game Bird Draw

    @AtTheMurph tgats incredible! Great work! That’s certainly a true trophy to pull that off in our area. Do you have access to private land? This wasn’t a draw hunt right? Either way, I’m impressed

    November Game Bird Draw

    @Quailnerd - the state of Indiana has a few properties that are managed for WILD pheasants. Every year hunters can enter their name in a draw to be selected to hunt one of the properties.

    November Game Bird Draw

    @nkhrfh - that’s great, congrats! Give us an update on how it went. I had a friend go 2 years ago and saw a ton of birds, said the hunt wa comparable to Iowa. @AtTheMurph - that does not give me hope! Haha Ive struck out as well the last 7 years. But I’ll keep on trying! I spend a few weeks in...
