Pheasant restocking planned in Plymouth County Iowa
Izaak Walton League chapters in Plymouth County ally with the Iowa Conservation Commission to restock pheasants this summer and fall. Conservation Officer Walter Truesell outlined the plan, noting the northern half of Iowa is best for these birds and that Boone hatchery will supply the young birds. Twelve week care and county feeding protection areas are required, with 25 000 young birds released statewide this spring and Plymouth County earmarked to receive them at the County Poor Farm. Local 4-H and farm groups are urged to assist, as county committees are organized and plans finalized for Plymouths share of birds. License sales fund the program, with 1937 38 licenses expiring April 1 and a combined hunting fishing license now $1.50 for residents. single licenses are $1.00.
