Pheasant Hunting Marshall Area

[RayG]

Just a tip for those pheasant hunting in the Marshall area, we had a lot of flooding in late June that knocked out pheasant nests and broods in low lying areas. From what I've seen WMA's with more high ground and hills have a better population than those that are mostly wetlands and subject to flooding. Good luck everyone.

Thanks for the tip RayG. I am hoping to get down that way sometime during the season so I can visit my daughter at SMSU and maybe take her out in the area for a little pheasant hunting.

Think I am heading that way this weekend. In-laws live south of Marshall a little. Might have to bring the dog along and try a couple spots.

That is very nice of you Ray to give "on the ground" feedback to help your fellow sportsmen/women.

I am holding out hope that many areas had good late broods because of the early rains we had and maybe we will have a surprise year.

The governor and his group will be in Worthington for the opener. Guys planning on coming to SW MN for the opener might want to keep that in mind. In that particular area there will be about a gabillion people tromping around.

hunted the dawson area. was a rough two days. 2nd opener for ducks started the same day which I think spook the pheasant to move in early into corn.Fist day with a 10 hour hunt, saw only 1 rooster which we took down. Im sure they're all in the corn fields. Had some buddies of mine in the talcot lake area with a little better result.
