Pheasant Season Opens With Hopes For Strong Hunt
Game officials predict a substantial pheasant season with a slight population increase in northern Iowa counties. Nesting observations show small gains in the primary range while Western county declines are offset in other areas. The 1957 ringneck season began November 4 at noon and runs until December 2 in long zone counties and November 21 in short zone counties. Shooting hours are noon to 4:30 p.m. daily. The bag and possession limit is three cock birds in both zones. Copperheads are noted as the most widespread and abundant poisonous snakes in the region.
