Game farms in Mn


Recommended Posts

Wondering if anyone knows of any pheasant game farms that are still allowing hunters...

I would like to get out one more time with my young lab and do some bird hunting.

I talked to wild acres up in Pequot lakes, they have no birds left but were letting people hunt there land for 50$ a gun and 20$ per bird.. But they wouldn't say how many birds they feel are left out there...any thoughts.

Thanks!

The gun fee seems steep.

The whole industry is running low because most MN preserves have struggled with inventory the past two real winters. No one wanted a repeat. South Dakota preserves cleaned out many bird "hatcheries" with big, big orders in November.

Call sand pine phesant preserve in st.joesph and ask for keith. It's just north of st. cloud. I know he still has pheasants for $16.75 and bobwhite quail for $10.00. He very reasonable and has a great set up. I help him guide there and have been training my dogs there for the last 3 years.

Golden Meadows, one of the best in the state! Just south of st. cloud in richmond MN. No joke, the birds are like flying chickens! they are fricken enormous. Have anything from cattails to crp, to milo. We just went there a few weeks ago, great place, great birds, great time.

not to be mean but the last time i hunted golden meadows we bought 15 pheasants and my dog caught 10 of the birds cause they wouldn't fly at all cause they were too big to fly. I wasn't too pleased with that.

I tried Oakview Ridge in Belle Plain. Pheasants were good and nicely sized, chukars a little lame. price was a little steep. $20/bird $25/gun. 6 bird minimum and I later found out, per person. I went there with my kid and 6mo freshly trained dog. I wasn't in the mood for hunting hard for 12 birds with only 2 hrs of daylight left. I thought that was bad business.

WOW. That $25 gun fee is usually waived for kids at most preserves wanting to charge a gun fee. Usually no gun fee or minimum number of released bird for kids that are along. Only requirement should be a hunter safety card or apprentice cert.
