Hey gang, I've been out of state for awhile. Has the DNR put out the Rabbit, Quail, Pheasant, Hungarian Partridge distribution maps? I couldn't find them on their web site. Where do I look?

After the Opener debacle I was ready to sell my gear and take up stamp collecting. Yesterday I had choice between cleaning gutters, raking lawn, or cleaning the kitchen floor. Well the weatherman told me to go hunting, so I did. I went back to western Kossuth. Light winds and with the time shift...

All indications point to a challenging season. We all know it's not all about the bulge in your game pouch. Take pride in watching your dog earn his vittles and your training sessions bear fruit. Enjoy your friends, family, partners in this autumnal dance. At the end of the day crate the dogs...

Howdy. I have a buddy heading to the Wishek area later this week. Can anybody give me a report on bird numbers in that area, and how much/little snow at this time?

Has anyone out there had their dog go through the ACL surgery? My go-to Brit Bobbi, (11) Blew out her ACL ligament about a week ago. I just picked her up from vet after the surgery. It's just the first night and it seems bleak. I need to know what to expect from someone whose been through it...

With the season closing on Saturday the 10th, I knew I had to go out. Earlier in the week the weather forecasts had low temps and high winds, clouds and snow. My wife was going to hide the truck keys because of the conditions here in N. Iowa. But I had to go. Weather had stopped me the weekend...

Well, We're down to the count down week here in No. Iowa. I have to say, I have more anxiety about this season than in the past. I've yet to put up a bird in my training/conditioning runs. My sure spots aren't too sure. Couple that with the fact that my paradise spot in NW Ia. was sold to the...

Well the 07-08 Pheasant Season has flown by. I did something I've never done in 30 yrs. of teaching, I played hooky and took Thursday off. It was the last day of the season, and it was worth it. I knew Bobbie's days afield are going to dwindle fast now. I had to give her and Maggie one more big...

I'm sorry to report that conditions in No. Iowa are the worst for birds I've seen in 30 yrs. of hunting here. The season is winding down to the last weekend and closes next Thurs. There's an impenetrable ice coating on all fields. The 4'' of snow on the ground is like concrete. More rain is...

Hi. CB here, I'm a newbie here, but an old pheasant hunter. Glad I found this site. As usual I was very nervous opening morning because due to many reasons I'm down to about zero on access to private ground. So I mostly hunt WMAs for my birds. Similar to duck-hunting I staked out a chunk of...
