Pheasants to be released for holiday hunting
From time with family, to great food and generous servings of pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving offers plenty to be thankful for. Here's one more thing to add to your list: the chance to go pheasant hunting with friends and family.
We will be releasing?rooster pheasants at 18 wildlife management areas before the Thanksgiving weekend, so you and your family can enjoy the fun of hunting together, with added chance of success.
The 18 wildlife management areas are: Arnold Trupp WMA (Morrill County), Arrowhead WMA (Gage County), Bordeaux WMA (Dawes County), Branched Oak WMA (Lancaster County), Cornhusker (Hall County), George D. Syas WMA (Nance County), Hickory Ridge WMA (Johnson County), James N. Douglas WMA (Johnson County), Kirkpatrick Basin North WMA (York County), Oak Valley WMA (Madison County), Peru Bottoms WMA (Nemaha County), Powder Creek WMA (Dixon County), Pressey WMA (Custer County), Rakes Creek WMA (Cass County), Randall W. Schilling WMA (Cass County), Sherman Reservoir WMA (Sherman County), Wilkinson WMA (Platte County), and Yankee Hill WMA (Lancaster County).
You can find a map of these sites on our website (scroll down to the "Pheasant Release Locations" tab). Remember that non-toxic shot is required at Kirkpatrick Basin North, Peru Bottoms, Randall W. Schilling and Wilkinson wildlife management areas.
This is your chance to make the most of the holiday weekend (and maybe walk off a big meal!). Buy your permit today and don't forget that we offer two-day hunting permits for out-of-staters ? perfect for an occasion like this one.
And remember that time outdoors is time well spent!
