On the 4th attempt, I finally flushed a Yellow Rail at Horseshoe Bend (Louisa Cty). From Wapello, go east on Cty 99 (formerly State 99) for 2-3 miles to 114th Ave. Follow that gravel rd for 2.2 miles. At that point state land is on each side of the rd. with cables to prevent vehicles from driving on the area. I put a small white napkin on the orange/white metal marker on the north side. Follow the old vehicle trail for 50-100 yds and you will see a wide area with water in it. In the grassland in this area is where I flushed the bird. Chuck Fuller Burlingtonj
