2023 pheasant season in Iowa was the best in 16 years

iowa-pheasant-hunting-season-2024

Iowa’s pheasant hunters bagged more than 590-thousand roosters last fall, the most since 2007.

The 62 percent increase in harvest was due to a strong population of pheasants and to a 32 percent increase in the number of pheasant hunters, estimated to be more than 83,600 hunters.

The 2024 pheasant survey concluded on August 15th, and while the results are expected to show a population slightly lower due to spring flooding, Iowa hunters should still expect to find good bird numbers across much of the northern half of the state.

The results will be online by early September.
