With the MN Pheasant Opener fast approaching, our Board Members will be having a Pint Night this coming Thursday.

It’s not a meeting, it’s a social gathering, where we’ll be making plans for the season, sharing maps, and reliving stories.

If you’re interested in meeting our members, learning about the chapter, or looking to share/learn ideas for the season feel free to stop and say hello.

What a fantastic day in the field! 🌾☀️

We couldn’t have asked for better weather for our Dakota Ringnecks Pheasants Forever **Learn to Hunt** event! The conditions were absolutely perfect, and the energy out in the field was incredible.

A **HUGE shout-out** to all of our amazing mentors. Your dedication, guidance, and unwavering focus on safety ensured that every mentee had an educational, memorable, and above all, safe experience today. Events like this simply don't happen without people like you stepping up to share your passion for habitat, conservation, and hunting heritage.

The hard work paid off—our mentees were able to put their training into practice and brought home several birds! 🍁🐕

To top off a successful day, Peter Bohlig whipped up an incredible spread of fresh pheasant fajitas that hit the spot for the whole crew. 🌮🔥

Thank you again to everyone who came out, volunteered, and supported the event. We are already looking forward to the next one!

Survey Says: Results from the annual roadside count are out, and 20 percent higher than last year is certainly great news. Quality habitat, with a little help from the weather, is paying off in Minnesota's pheasant range. Full results are here: https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/recreation/hunting/pheasant/roadside_survey.pdf?20260908-59

Are you a Minnesota resident that hunts pheasants in Iowa? If yes, you may want to voice your opinion about some proposed changes for non-resident hunters. Iowa is considering a change from a season long non-resident license to a structure similar to South Dakota. For example, the proposed rule provides for up to 14 days of hunting on an annual nonresident license, with the option to purchase multiple annual licenses.The change is still being reviewed, and they are accepting public comments through September 22nd at https://rules.iowa.gov/Notice/Details/0548DA .

While the numbers were down a bit in Iowa from 2025, pheasant numbers are the 2nd best in 10 years.
