Looks like we might see our first measurable snow on Friday night/Saturday morning! Anyone planning to head out? I'm debating between chasing birds or sitting in a deer blind, but I think birds might take the upper hand. If we were in a blind, I'd still need to get my daughter a deer tag, as I typically hunt late muzzleloader. We also don't have a lot of time during 2nd season to hunt, so she just might hunt late muzzy with me.
I don't know......tough to beat that first snow for bird hunting......just seems to make the birds sit tighter and its just beautiful as all get out.
My vote for you would be bird hunting.
(I am going to try and do the same, but probably won't be able to until Sunday morning due to youth basketball tournament on Saturday)
This! Nothing beats roosters in fresh snow.
Yeah, bird hunting is getting the nod. I've got a youth basketball tournament Saturday afternoon, and my Sunday is pretty booked up. So, we'll charge the collar and remote, find the warm clothes, and see how pissed off my shooting makes me dog this weekend!
Worked with a guy that had a dog that would sneak up behind you and nip the back of your leg if you missed a bird he flushed.
Another worker who hunted with him verified it. I never took him up to hunt with him.
Got our deer in one hour. 4 guys 4 bucks. Unbelievable. One push through the first spot and we're done. I got a spike with one antler broken off. My son got a nice 10 point. Kinda sad it's over already but man what a morning.
Congrats. Wished I had seen any. Sent a lot of hrs sitting and waiting
grandson got one so that makes me Happy.
From what I heard I was not expecting it. We have some private land that we push and the deer acted like they hadn't been hunted at all. They must have just been hanging out on this land all first season. They were not skittish at all and came out of the valleys walking real slow like they were taking a stroll through the park.
Now I have 3 more days off work with nothing to do. Lol it was damn near a miracle morning
Finally got a couple. What a great 4 day weekend!
I always heard Southeast IA is pretty good for pheasant

The boys and I wrapped up the season last weekend. 3 of us got our 9 in about 90 minutes.
Walked a few miles yesterday for my finale. Saw one hen and one rooster a half mile away. Ended up with two for the year which is two more than last year.
Also had the opportunity to make them in to Pheasant Ala King and share it with my son, fil, bil and the guy who owns the property that I got the birds from. It was an awesome night (except for the vikings score) and everyone loved the food.

Best year in a long time out west. At 68 the hard walks were well worth it. Just a lot a fun with the dog and hardy meals.
Didn’t get anything on my last day out before leaving last month. Walked one of our 80 acres with my son and that was better than anything I could have asked for I need a bigger safe for the place in Iowa but it beats hauling firearms between two different states.
