Pheasant Hunting Iowa

[@danpals7678]

I love pheasant hunting. I used to hunt with my bull terrier who didn't know what he was doing but he still scared up alot of birds accidentally. I used to hunt public land and start at the opposite end of the parking area. A strategy that really confused the birds and yielded good results especially late in the season after they had been pursued from the same direction all season. They learn very quick and take off running as soon as they hear the truck door slam. They have excellent hearing.

I see you are a man of good taste as well. I love Remingtons

[@sheltonshively]

"it's probably just that rabbit" always trust the dog

[@SmellsLikeSilver]

I used to live in Ames and go back every few years to hunt with my family. Great times. Thanks for sharing!

Loads of fun.. So blessed to be able to do it... Most people don't have land like that...

[@mbahbendil]

Wish we had it this good in California.. we hunt wild pheasant in ditches and are lucky to get 4 shots lol, and gotta hope they are roosters. Nice video, awesome gsp, I got a vizsla.

[@dudeawesomebro9315]

A Dallas county man i see we should hunt together sometime

[@benwarner8995]

Dropped five and only bagged three? Losing one is the worst.

[@kobox0125]

NICE VIDEO.NICE SHOT

[@mamasgonecreating1967]

Do you eat them? Are they more like chicken or duck? What do you do with feathers? You can probably tell we eat venison but I have never had pheasant.

[@paullevang5416]

Mama's gone detecting Pheasant is more like dark turkey meat that's a bit more dry. Very tasty when cooked right! Apple pheasant casserole is great.

[@KKden-vw7zy]

You pluck the feathers of course

[@mamasgonecreating1967]

Rektangle I know that. I meant, do you just throw them away, mount them or use them for crafts?

[@KKden-vw7zy]

Mama's gone detecting Throw them away usually. The tail festhers and the neck feathers are the best keepers.

[@braydenjames7955]

Mama's gone detecting you can batter them in flour and deep or air fry them

[@kevinboock7143]

What GoPro did you film with and what's the battery life?

[@IDigHistoryInIowa]

Kevin Boock the Hero5. It’s waterproof and has good sound recording for a small camera. Battery life varies i would say at least 1.5 hours if recording 1080 at 60fps. The screen darkens to save battery life while its recording

[@reeceerlbacher183]

Is this public or private land?

[@henryhale4048]

I like how you can only shoot roosters it keeps a healthy population

[@kylepieper3938]

I hunt public and private land all over Iowa and South Dakota. I haven't seen birds hold this tight in a long time without bad weather, maybe ever. I doubt these were 100% wild birds. The sections of grass are groomed to well and mowed in small sections to limit the birds area. Guessing this is an outfitter or pay to hunt place.

[@IDigHistoryInIowa]

Kyle Pieper nope private land we’ve hunted for years south side of Ogden. The place we got these is right across the highway from town. Opening day was the first cold day we had so I think the were just holding.

[@samuelcarpenter4576]

I'm on my first hunt up in the TX Panhandle and I wish I could get them to jump. These birds have been running like hell or sitting on my feet (50 mph wind gusts). I'm sure there are way more out here because I see em poking through the grass, but I can't get a flush. I know with snipe it's just variable like that. Sometimes they jump at 50 yd and sometimes they just sit.

[@mamasgonecreating1967]

Ok, I admit, I am not a bird hunter so forgive me when I ask, what is the beeping that sounds like a metal detector?

[@chriswilliams7624]

In the tall grass you can't always see your dog or when its on point. The beeping lets you know when the dog has gone on point and stopped moving.

[@mamasgonecreating1967]

Chris Williams Cool. Thank you.

[@cfong_sports394]

The beeping detects when the device stops moving to indicate pointing

[@pointerdogmanfred3520]

That's the dog locater. It speeds up when the dog locks on point.

[@mjglock4784]

What's the bag limit there now?

[@IDigHistoryInIowa]

3 bird daily bag limit still. Been this way since I started hunting back in the late 70s. birds 1 & 2 were recovered, bird 3 we could not find, bird 4 I missed, bird 5 was recovered.

Private land

The dog wasn’t pointing them

[@mlhemmingsen65]

Running birds. More and more guys I hunt with are training pointers to trail running birds rather than hold on first scent. I hunt a flusher, so I train my dogs to circle running birds and chase back.
