In Iowa, public land is closed to dogs until July 15. I completely agree with this, and would never intentionally run my dogs where I thought they could disturb a nesting hen. I am really itching to get my dogs out on some ground where they can flush a few birds in the coming weeks, and was wondering if July 15th was a good rule of thumb to use, or should I wait longer (on private ground that is). Just looking for any other input or past experiences anyone else has!
