A boost in birds last pheasant season is expected to continue this year in Iowa after a six-thousand mile corner-to-corner survey of the state. D-N-R wildlife biologist, Todd Bogenschutz, keeps track of the numbers from the survey routes.
Bogenschutz says with bird numbers moving back up, the task is now to lure back the hunters who gave up after finding the numbers down.
He says Iowa winters are unpredictable and hunters should take advantage of the better odds for success.
The pheasant season opens October 29th.
