Iowa pheasant hunters bagged more than 460,000 roosters in 2024

Iowa’s 2024 estimated pheasant harvest was the second highest in nearly two decades, coming in at more than 460,000 roosters last fall, surpassed only by the 2023 harvest of 590,000.
This is the best back to back pheasant harvest years since 2007. Only South Dakota had more pheasants harvested last year. The 2024 August pheasant survey showed a population decline of 14% from 2023, likely due to ill-timed spring flooding across northwestern Iowa.
