I live in Iowa. as far as non-captives there are reports of an isolated pocket of ornates supposedly only a couple miles from my house near a river, but they are very rare in not gone completely, and I turkey and deer hunt there and have never seen one. There are also ornates on the other side of the state in the southwest part of Iowa near Nebraska border. For this reason Ornates are protected in Iowa and also why I do not keep them only 3 toes and easterns.
