Your Hunting Guide for Pheasant Hunting - Rooster Hunting - Turkey Hunting - Quail Hunting and Other Birds Hunting
There was a 25% drop in harvested birds to a total of 650,000 in 2007. Nevertheless, Iowa remains the second biggest pheasant state and this year should reinforce that position. This year's roadside survey showed a 15% increase from 2007. The central part of the state showed the largest gain from 2007 with a 35% jump, while the northeast and north central rebounded from 2007's drenching rains to show double digit increases. Surveys indicate the northwest to hold the highest overall bird densities.
