tomahawk- i havent hunted there but i would guess that the windom area would be great. Saw an insane amount of birds near another southwestern town this past weekend. Where we were, the best spots were groves, tree/bush/fence lines, and of course grassy ditches. Even shot one off of a black dirt field on the way to a fenceline!

I hunted the Palisade/ Hill City area this weekend for grouse and ducks, but the only bird I ended up with was a Pheasant!
I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
What is the furthest North anyone has gotten a pheasant?

I am getting pumped for next weekend in SD.

Good luck Hunting.

I saw one on the E. side of leech Lk.(Boy river) the first week of Oct.

NELS, the last two years the pheasant populations up North have been growing. They used to be rare, now they are common. The area around Clarissa has tons of birds, even up to Park Rapids. We see a lot at our cabin South of Park Rapids.

I'm leavin school a bit early today to go chase roosters on a couple of wma's ive been looking to try. I'll post tonight on my success. It'll only be my 2nd time out for them this year, but am gonna try to get out quite a bit now.

Fishface5 there are two pheasant game farms located on the east side of Leech by Federal Dam. I would have to figure that it might have been a game farm bird. I hunt Baders Pheasant Run a few times a year its a high quality run family busness. You turn east where the road goes to Silver Hook resort. Give them a try if your in the area.

Had a great hunt last night, a buddy had permission to hunt 120 acres where the corn had just gone out (in Kandiyohi county). Three of us had 6 birds in an hour! With the snowy rain, the birds were holding tight. Fun. Pheasant hunting is only as good as the land that you have to hunt on.

O birds for me. Didnt flush a thing. O well, talked to another hunter who had hunted the wma we were on twice that day and hadnt seen a thing. Thank ill skip that one from now on. O well, good to get out and work the dog.

Hunted public land by belle plaine again today, only one rooster this time, my pointer decided to chase a big buck, it was a beautiful deer, might set up a stand and try to bow hunt there this week. Adam

I'm almost too embarrased to report this one. Went out today with a couple of guys and the dog, hunted most of the day, all on public lands north of the cities. Flushed 3 big old roosters throughout the hunt, I missed one, and my bro missed the other 2. Probably the easiest wingshot ive ever had but took me a little by surprise and missed two shots at it. It's the dogs first year, and I think he was a little dissapointed in us. That was only my second hunt this year, and now im pumped. Gotta get back out there.

Took a couple of boys out to Kansas for the Youth Hunt this weekend. Saw over a 100 birds Saturday! Took em a couple hours but they got their limits. Sunday same thing as far as numbers but those boys couldn't hit a thing. Had a great time, can't wait for the opener next week.

The hunting has been outstanding around here. Hit the cattails this weekend before the storm. High numbers holding tight just the way I like it. Talk to alot of guys who havent seen any they were hunting the high ground yet. You guys dont make the same mistake.

Dano it has gotten better since you were here, unbelievable. The dog is loving the cattails looking for another visit from you after deer season.

Using my neighbors computer havent got mine fixed yet hunting is to good. Have to give me a call.

GOODLUCK PLENTY BIRDS TO GO AROUND
