    Huns and quail in northern Iowa

    There was one covey that I have seen in North Central Iowa. I actually got lucky and shot a double with 1 shot. 1 Male and 1 Female. I have not seen them in the field ever besides that one time. Other than that I have only seen them in snow storms.

    2022 Hunt Report Nov 7 to 11 *Warning Short Post*

    Would love to know what region you were in. I just hunted near Webster and the cover was not up to par and we worked HARD! It was still fun to watch the dog work and we got a few, just not what I thought would happen going to SD.

    2022 Hunt Report Nov 7 to 11 *Warning Long Post*

    I was just up there during this time. We struggle to find good habitat. It was my first out of state trip. We didn't find any good cover because it was all hayed it seemed. Maybe this is just me. Would love to know.

    Weatherby Orion V. Franchi Instinct L or SL

    I accidentally posted this in another forum and I figured out later it belongs here. I am interested in both of these guns just through online reading and video watching. The issue with me is I am a person that wants to put my hands on something before I spend that kind of money. So, I am here...

    Bird Dog Injury

    It isn't the eye, just a cut above it, both eyes are open.

    Bird Dog Injury

    Looking for some help. I was running my dog in our usual spot and it was at night. He yelped and came running back with a good cut on his eye and a bump on the other. Eventually blood began to drip out of his nose. He hit a branch or something. I am wondering what to do? How do dog's nose...

    Shells? Bring Money

    I'm thinking of companies like Backridge Ammunition. I think they are holding on to build an okay surplus, instead of one big wad.

    Shells? Bring Money

    It is my opinion, take it for what it is, that the ammo companies are going to slow roll product out until as late as possible until season openers. At that point they will roll them out. I hope I am right, really I'm just trying to be an optimist.

    Truck Bed / Camping Van / Hunting Rig Set-Ups

    Do you have the blue prints for your drawer system. I would love a decked system, just too expensive for something I think I can build.

    I live here, it is dry, dry, dry. However our bird numbers are up. Our report is going to come out in the next couple of weeks I think. You can take a look at 2020's report on the Iowa DNR website

    What trips do you have planned for this year

    Just going south in the state of Iowa for quail. Just had my first kid so travel is light this year. Paying my dues upfront with my wife, getting all the list done to buy as much time as possible.

    Needing Help

    They have plenty due to the lakes up there, you just have to be ready to hunt in some wetland areas. I have got a few limits out of them and stayed dry. Staying dry this year shouldn't be a problem.

    Iowa Quail

    I live in North Central Iowa. One of my buddies and I want to go to southern Iowa and hunt quail for the day. I have checked the game distribution map and know where to generally go, however there is a problem. I just feel like there is a lack of public land down South compared to North...

    A simple google search tells you everything. Every forum I have been on says the same towns. Good lord, it isn't big game hunting.
