Pheasants aren’t the only game bird growing in population in Iowa. Todd Bogenschutz, with the Department of Natural Resources, says quail numbers are at their highest level in a couple of decades. “Our quail numbers, statewide, are at the highest we’ve seen since 1994,” Bogenschutz says. The hunting season for both pheasants and quail opens today (Saturday). Bogenschutz says, in some respects, hunting quail presents more of a challenge.
“I think the bird, because it’s small…when you get a covey to rise, people describe it as bumblebees going everywhere. So, I think the challenge is picking a target out of that blur of 10 to 15 birds that all just got up at once,” Bogenschutz. In addition to more quail, a DNR roadside survey found the state’s pheasant population increased by 37-percent this year. While the pheasant hunting season ends on January 10, hunters can use the same small game license for quail through January 30.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Kansas City Royals looked uncharacteristically shaky in a 9-3 loss to the New York Mets that cut their lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven World Series. That Gold Glove defense led by Eric Hosmer bungled several key plays. Those bats that couldn’t miss in the first two World Series games were flailing helplessly against Noah Syndergaard once the rookie settled in. The nearly unhittable bullpen had trouble getting outs. Yordano Ventura gave back two early leads.
NEW YORK (AP) — Kansas City pitcher Chris Young will be working on three days’ rest to try to push the Royals to the brink of their first World Series championship since 1985. He’s set to start Game 4 tonight (Saturday) against the Mets’ Steven Matz. Young won the opener in relief Tuesday, throwing 53 pitches and striking out four over three hitless innings. He says his body feels fine and he’s not worried about bouncing back.
LONDON (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are about to play their strangest “home” game in team history — in front of 84,000 mostly English spectators 4,300 miles from Arrowhead Stadium. Sunday’s matchup with the Detroit Lions (1-6) in London is part of the NFL’s effort to build a British base for American football. It will be the Chiefs’ (2-5) first regular-season game played on foreign soil. Coach Andy Reid and quarterback Alex Smith have vowed to ensure that the sacrifice of a real home game won’t cost the team a win. You can hear the game Sunday morning on KJAN, beginning with the pre-game show at 7-a.m.
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Joey Logano has won the pole at Martinsville Speedway as he seeks his fourth consecutive Sprint Cup victory.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods says he had a follow-up procedure on his back Wednesday to relieve discomfort. Woods underwent a pair of microdiscectomy last year and new says he returned to the Tour too early. There is no timetable on his return.
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Scott McCarron and Steve Pate shared the lead at 8-under 63 after the first round of the Champions Tour’s Toshiba Classic.

Billy Andrade (AN’-drayd) and Rod Spittle were a stroke back in the final full-field event of the season.

A lot of Iowa Hawkeye football fans are planning to celebrate Halloween at Kinnick Stadium tomorrow (Saturday), but they’re being warned some costumes and items won’t be allowed. The 10th-ranked Hawkeyes kickoff against Maryland at 2:30 in a nationally televised game. Many in the expected sellout crowd will attend in costume, but UI director of public safety Dave Visin says people donning some outfits won’t be allowed in Kinnick Stadium.
Those include authentic looking law enforcement or security guard uniforms and authentic player or game official uniforms that could be mistaken for an actual player or referee. In addition, Visin says no “simulated weapons or other props” will be allowed. He adds whether or not a costume meets safety requirements will be up to the sole discretion of law enforcement.
