Stop "hotspotting!" lol These guys used to, but Iowa isn't on their menu....but I didn't look very hard > https://scmaps.com/

LMFAO at U! I'm an old phuck, but I'll wager that I've shot more pheasants as a kid in the 60's than you have in your entire life, and in 2023, I'll still be busting brush long after your road hunting arse is in the bar. Listen up, Lumpy, if I wanted to know with any precision where the birds...

HTF is wondering if anyone has hunted Ringgold County this year "hottspotting".....whatever TF that is?

Or a border county?

What county?

He replied to me, and I asked which county; or tri-county area if he felt like I'd know exactly where he was talking about. lol

Really? I thought you drove through SE Iowa to get back to Lonsdale from SD. lol

What county--or tri county area--has that type of population in 2023? Sounds more like the hay days?!

Always looking for a new adventure. I don't hunt deer any longer, but have a small farm on the Fayette County/Clayton County border which is basically a runway. Would be interested in letting someone hunt it for access to like, private pheasant ground with high population. LMK!

Same deal here over in Ringgold County next door. Check with the game warden and/or DNR biologist who cover Page County, and they will set you straight. Many times, the biologist is the person who did the roadside and whistling counts, and often they are bird hunters themselves. I never try a...

The map is "based on the roadside count." There's no way 50 birds per section were observed on average anywhere.

The funny thing about the map, is that it says, "Birds per sq/mi." Per "sq/mi." Think about that! Where the F is anyone seeing 50 birds every sq/mi??

You're right > https://www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/Phst_WhatWeKnow_Nesting.pdf I've only read that 100 times....must be getting old....or eager for late October!

Seems late; but I think you're in the northern tier? I know spring was "late" this year, but if June hatch is not unusual, why does the DNR use total rainfall in April-May as a predictor of brood success > https://www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/uploads/Hunting/annual/2022aug_roadside.pdf I'm no...

Those eggs were unhatched > "I had 2 hens flush underfoot, 5 eggs in the first nest and 10 in the second."??

What county; if I may ask?

Not sure where you are, but most of the northern tier is still below the "magical" 30" mark for the season > https://www.pivotalweather.com/maps.php?data_type=obs&r=us_nc&p=nohrsc_seasnow&ds=nohrsc
