Pheasant hunters, don't forget the limit is now 3! 💥
🪶 On Dec. 1, the daily bag limit increased to three roosters, with a possession limit of nine roosters.
📊 Pheasant numbers were up nearly 50% over last year and were 21% above the 10-year average based on the DNR August Roadside Survey (available here: mndnr.gov/hunting/pheasant).
🧊 During this time of year, some of the best places to find pheasants are tall grass or cattail marshes. Exercise caution around thin ice!
Pheasant hunting season is open through Jan. 4, 2026. Share how it's going by uploading a photo to our hunting photo uploader: mndnr.gov/hunting/photos.html
