Pheasant numbers have been down, really since 93. Wet conditions in spring and other factors are also affecting hatches. Once they hatch, there is alot of competition.
I haven't jumped a quail very often in the past few years, and on some of the farms I bow hunt that used to have pheasants....nada.

Is there much CRP in Iowa these days? I hunted Iowa in the early '90s and it was decent but my buddy told me that the CRP was gone. I'm not sure I believed him. I hunted around Carson, IA.
