(Des Moines) – With many holiday gatherings put on hold due to the pandemic, pheasant hunting is one way to keep an annual holiday tradition alive, while staying apart. “Pheasant hunting is a big part of Thanksgiving for many families but with health experts advising against gatherings, this tradition won’t look the same as in year’s past, but it can still be part of the holiday,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.  He said hunters who do not live in the same house are encouraged to drive separately to the hunting spot and when they arrive, to space out and not congregate while in the field.

What they’ll find in the field is a pheasant season that’s off to a good start. “I’m hearing really good reports, good pheasant numbers from all parts of the state despite the state experiencing an unusual number of days with gale-force winds and temperatures in the 70s,” said Bogenschutz. “Everybody that’s hunting in good cover is finding and getting birds.” That’s good news heading in to the Thanksgiving holiday and might be just enough incentive to delay the trip to the couch until the afternoon hunt is completed.

Iowa’s pheasant season closes Jan. 10, 2021.

Places to Hunt

The Iowa DNR’s online hunting atlas lists nearly 700,000 acres of public hunting land, including 22,000 acres of land enrolled in the popular Iowa Habitat and Access Program (IHAP) allowing hunter access to private land.

Each area on the atlas includes a link to a map with property boundaries, the size of the area, habitat type, species of wildlife likely found, if nontoxic shot is required and more. The map is available as a downloadable pdf that can be printed or saved to a smartphone.

To view the atlas, go to www.iowadnr.gov/hunting and click on Places to Hunt and Shoot in the left column.

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa sophomore forward Jack Nunge is expected to miss the Hawkeyes season opener on Wednesday against North Carolina Central. Nunge’s father, Mark, died over the weekend.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who says Nunge is with his family in Indiana.

(AMES, Iowa) — Iowa State women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly will quarantine for 14 days following exposure to the coronavirus. Fennelly said he has since tested negative along with everyone in the Iowa State program but is following medical advice that includes the quarantine. “I am thankful to have an amazing staff to manage the program while I’m away,” Fennelly said in the statement. “It will be hard to miss games, but I will watch and cheer along with the best fans in the nation. Our focus continues to be, as always, on the team and we are committed to doing everything we can to allow them to play safely.”

The Cyclones are scheduled to play games against Omaha, South Dakota State, TCU and South Carolina during Fennelly’s absence. Associate head coach Jodi Steyer will take over while Fennelly is in quarantine.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Chicago White Sox will host the New York Yankees in the rescheduled Field of Dreams game at Dyersville, Iowa, on Aug. 12. MLB says the plan is tentative, contingent on the status of public health next summer. The teams had been scheduled to play at the ballpark next to the “Field of Dreams” movie site last Aug. 13. When the schedule was revamped because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Yankees were replaced as the opponent by the St. Louis Cardinals, but the game was called off on Aug. 4. The rescheduled game will be MLB’s first in Iowa.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska coach Scott Frost says linebacker Collin Miller is unlikely to play the rest of the season after he injured his spine making a tackle against Illinois. Miller suffered a spinal concussion, which is characterized by a temporary sensory impairment and motor weakness. It usually goes away in one to three days with no lasting effects. Miller was hurt early in the fourth quarter Saturday and taken off the field on a stretcher. He was hospitalized overnight. The senior captain from Fishers, Indiana, is the Cornhuskers’ fourth-leading tackler. He visited his teammates Monday at practice.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jared Goff threw for three touchdowns and the Los Angeles Rams held Tom Brady in check during a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers at Tampa Bay. Cooper Kupp had 11 receptions for 145 yards and Roberts Woods finished with 10 catches for 130 yards and a TD. Jordan Fuller picked off two passes from Brady, who finished 26 of 48 for just 216 yards and two touchdowns as the Bucs fell to 7-3.
