You might not think birds are real after watching the video below:
Or you might be upset that four minutes of your life is gone, never to return. Either way, IFC has taken a firm stand on this subject. Birds are, in fact, REAL. And, in a stroke of fortune, they’re pretty tasty! Iowa has a tremendous series of seasons coming up. Get out there and enjoy them all! Here are the season dates from Iowa’s DNR: 2021/22 Iowa Hunting Season Dates
WARNING! If you shoot a bird, that in fact is a drone covered in synthetic feathers, you should know up front that all the butter and garlic in the midwest won’t help the flavor. #themoreyouknow
Get out there and enjoy Iowa’s fabulous natural resources. IFC’s volunteers are, as should you and yours!
As always, we’re a group of volunteers that needs your engagement and support. WE NEED YOUR HELP volunteering and we need you to become a member of IFC.
