Pheasant Reports...

[heartattack22]

Anyone been doing any pheasant hunting down there? I will be down next week in the traer/waterloo area and then down about an hour south of Des Moines. Just wondering if anyone is seeing anything.

I am from Northern Iowa, Buffalo Center to be exact. My friend has been out the last few days and had his limit within an hour or so. Farmers are finishing up with corn and getting the fields turned over. If you cross walk a complete section with corn around you are almost sure to get your limit. Just my 2 cents.

I hunt mainly in west central Ia., around the Carroll area, and have had decent success so far this year. From the people that I have talked to the nw and northcentral parts of the state have good bird numbers. It seems that the further south of I-80 you get the fewer birds you find.

The main problem we have had so far this year is the weather. It has been extremly dry, windy and hot. With the snow we got today the dry part is taken care of and the temps look to be getting closer to normal. The forecast is for 40's & 50's by the weekend.
