More than 5,000 pheasant legs were turned in by sportsmen during last fall's open season to help Conservation Commission biologists age birds by spur length. Across Iowa the young to old bird ratio ran 482 to 100, peaking in northeast at 656 to 100 and lowest in west central at 360 to 100, indicating strong production for the coming spring.
