Hunts
Of Interest | DitchesIowa pheasant hunting opening day pheasant hunter traditions and mishaps such as the often describe road side ditch hunts is not what we offer. All of our wild pheasant hunting is within the property lines of private land we lease for our exclusive use, not to share with anyone else. Those that find ditch hunts an acceptable practice are discouraged from contacting us.
Building on this pheasant hunting contrast, our northern of our three states where we lease land, the self guided Iowa pheasant hunter will enjoy the easier walking of the more shallow open drains. Pheasant hunting along these Iowa drainages typically allows for the single hunter to have observation of both sides of the drainage habitat as well as its center so that when a dog goes on point or flushes a rooster it is readily seen and more likely there will be blue sky shooting opportunities. A pheasant hunting advantage less common elsewhere. This is pheasant habitat where the hunter's buddy can score some friendship points by being the cameraman capturing dog, pheasant and hunter all in one picture. A tough task with many settling for just two of the three at best. For the most part working bird dogs is what the upland hunter is after and Iowa pheasant ground is where more eyes on the dog will occur. This is not just due to the more open habitat it is also due to the pheasant mixed in with Bobwhite Quail. The bird dog hunter will find the added advantages of an earlier opening season and generally cooler climate of this most north of our three central mid-west pheasant hunting states.
Bobwhite QuailThere is one additional advantage to our upland bird land lease within Iowa's southern region well known for some of the best Iowa pheasant hunts to be found and that is quail also exist in huntable numbers comparable to northern Missouri or some areas in Kansas. This is one of the most consistent regions in Iowa for a mixed bag quail and pheasant hunt experience to be had on the same day and overall during the same trip. A superior bird dog experience as well to be on two upland birds on one hunt, especially for those working first season dogs. The disadvantage is sometimes to the quail hunter with a small bore shotgun not well suited to pheasant.
