Shooting preserve boosts Ron De Bruin farm income
Ron De Bruin operates a licensed shooting preserve near Des Moines offering open season from September 1 to March 31 with no bag limit but an 80 percent harvest cap. Hunters may shoot hens and cocks, with prices starting at $20 for up to six pheasants or twelve quail or seven chukar partridge, plus optional guided hunts and dog training services.
Pheasant operation expands at Nile Farms East Alton Illinois
Help from Nile Farms in East Alton Illinois owned by Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp highlights extensive research on training feeding and housing birds offered free. Ron plans to breed hatch and raise pheasants this spring with stock from Ed Lloyd's Bird Lane Farms New Sharon. He will continue to buy partridge and quail from Lloyd. The State Conservation Commission established a new office led by Doyle Adams Boone to oversee the popular shooting preserve. Ron plans a new lake and Arkansas style duck hunting with released ducks trained to fly to a watering area. He guarantees six birds for the fee and allows hunters to stay until six are hit. He intends to use cover crops like sorghum pine trees and weed patches plus lespedeza and erosion-control practices aided by county ASCS seed. A Crazy Quail trap shoot is added with 360 degree clay targets.
