In Reply to: Pheasant nests posted by RBoots on May 15, 2016 at 13:58:10:
Pheasants are nesting right now around here in North-Easy Iowa. I have an area that we fenced with used chain link fence so the coyotes can't get in it easily. I have let the grass grow tall and leave it alone until after Sept. I then mow it about a foot tall. I leave strips that are not mowed. I switch every other year on the strips. I have pheasants in that area and the surrounding fence rows.
The biggest reason for the pheasant decline is habitat. CRP helps but they actually do better in fence rows and such. There is more protection there than in an open field.

I have some old car hoods set on concrete blocks that I put cracked corn and sand under to feed the pheasants and other birds. I also thin the stray cat population out too. They are a menace on game and song birds.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
