Jeff, Rest assured I'm not begging for more out of state hunters to visit Iowa, but the DNR announcements I get bemoan the low pheasant hunter numbers. I like my fields without competition. I do think Brett could revisit his old haunts and be counted on to not cause any trouble. Come to think of it, I'm an out of state Iowa hunter, and have been for over 30 years. I hope you'll continue to let me cross the border and take a bird now and then.
BTW, Elaine and I missed seeing you in Minnesota this past October. The birds were there, but the weather was colder than normal. Maybe next year?
