One Bucking Thing After Another at the Korkow Ranch
The Pheasant Hunting “ crews” at the “Ranch” and across “Iowa” have been busy with “fun and games”----besides trying to fix water gaps----fences that have been under snow—so the horses “head to town”----not even to a rodeo!!! Maybe the horses were getting exersize...
A Smorgasbord
Our blog last month featured a picture of the pheasants on top of the bale pile---Leigh Leesman captured a video of the deer and the Pheasants at the bale pile just after our 12 inches of new snow on 3/13 and 3/14—this morning I counted 20 deer at the bale pile---must...
Habitat for the birds on a year-round basis
My neighbor, Leigh Leesman, shows 31.5 below this morning (2/19/19). She took this picture of Pheasants from the hay yard looking towards my place. It’s about having habitat for the birds on a year-round basis! The Korkow families started our habitat projects in the...
Custom Benches by Matt Thompson
It seems like we go through the years and don’t give enough credit to those that put time/effort to give “life” to our hunting areas ---- just like these benches that Matt Thompson built to put around our reference poles or the benches he built for around the fire...

Happy Thanksgiving from the Korkow Ranch
The Korkow Families want to thank all the Pheasant hunters, our families, our guests, and our volunteers, that walked the fields, sat at our table and became a part of the Korkow Family hospitality this fall. No single individual could make happen what you as a group...
Busy, busy, busy at the Korkow Ranch
Our “crews” have been busy this past month getting ready for the 2018 opener at the Korkow Ranch on Oct. 20th. Mowing strips in fields, putting benches out at our “reference points” for us “duffers” --- Dana Hessel has been redoing the shelving in the walk-in cooler...
Pheasant hunting is just around the corner at the Korkow Ranch!
It’s Sept. 7th-----just a little over a month away till we start Pheasant Hunting at the Korkow Ranch, So far mother nature has been good for the birds at the Ranch---limited hail, good cover, good early rains and decent crops. We are seeing broods around the...
The 2018 Pheasant hunting season will be here shortly!
We have had timely rains for our food plot areas and farm ground all looks good. We have escaped most of the severe hail so that won’t affect the bird count for our area---our stock dams and low areas for bugs are looking good---nesting areas have plenty of...
