Pheasant counts hint at strong spring but fall luck unclear
The State Conservation Commission announced a slight rise in Iowa spring pheasant numbers versus 1963. Dr. Gene Klonglan cautioned that this may not mean a better fall crop, as hatch success this summer and weather will shape food hunting. Counts show 8 percent fewer cock calls overall, with declines in north central Iowa and gains in the southwest. A new all time leader catfish, an 85 inch channel catfish of 25 pounds 3 ounces, was recorded at Rock Creek Lake. Counties Boards assume ownership of former state parks Silver Lake near Delhi and Lost Island State Park in Palo Alto County, reflecting park land transfers.
