The Minnesota pheasant hunting season opened this past weekend, and according to Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News, turnout was good, but success was limited. Schmitt pointed out that the abundance of standing corn made it harder for hunters, which is typical for this time of year. Pheasants feed in the mornings and spend much of their day in the cornfields. On a positive note, Schmitt reported sightings of many young pheasants, which bodes well for future hunts.
