The hunting season for the Ringneck Pheasants in Iowa is from October 1 of a given year, through March 31 of the following year.
Sensing it is too cold for smart hunters to be out in the current Iowa winter, these pheasants can be seen feeding through the snow, or just moving about in flocks. The two in this photo were part of a flock of about fifteen males that were all out looking for corn in the snow. They were in the open and were very skittish, but I grabbed this shot of a couple colorful roosters before they scurried on their way.
