Weather, nesting conditions have been good for Iowa pheasants in recent months

Iowa’s pheasant population is expected to benefit from the 2024-25 mild winter and average spring that much of the state experienced.
According to Iowa’s state climatologist, last winter was the fourth least snowy in 138 years, and the spring was normal for rainfall and temperature.
“Given the statewide information, we are expecting a good nesting effort and our weather model is predicting pheasant populations will likely be higher for the 2025 hunting season,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
