I live north of Duluth and I'm an avid pheasant hunter. Every now and then I see pheasants on my land but I'm sure they are escapees from the game farm, Old Vermillion Trail about 8 miles from my house. I'm going to OVT on Thursday to get my 17 month old red lab on some birds before the pheasant...

I'm from Duluth and thinking of taking my 7 month old Red Lab puppy hunting next week in the Glencoe area. Anybody know of a decent pet friendly motel in that area?

Duluth Pheasants Also, in the mid 1960s my dad and I used to hunt pheasants around Pine City and see a fair number of birds.

Duluth Pheasants In the 1980s there were wild populations of pheasants in Duluth, mainly around the grain elevators and in Superior, WI. as well. The harsh winters of the early 90s pretty much killed them all off. Now, there are wild pheasants as far north as Carlton.

Had a great time hunting SW MN this weekend and managed to keep the dogs happy too with plenty of birds to put up. Flushed over 50 birds in two hours of hunting on Saturday and got these 3 in a little over an hour of hunting on Sunday. So far this has been my best season since I took up pheasant...

No grouse for me either I was hoping to do some late season grouse hunting too but the 30+ inches of snow we got north of Duluth where I lived pretty much put an end to that. So instead of hunting grouse, I went to SW MN over the weekend and had a great time. Put up over 50 pheasants in 2 hours...

Report from Duluth hunter I don't get a chance to get out hunting pheasants much but so far, I've had a good season. I went to SW MN for 2 1/2 days and got 5 roosters. I put up about 35 birds, including about 15 roosters on the first day. I also went on a day trip to central MN and put up 5...

Duluth Pheasants That's not even funny. I'm from Duluth. I wish there were Pheasants up here. There was actually a small population of pheasants in Superior and in Duluth by the grain elevators but I think they all disappeared in the late '80s/early '90s.

I'm from Duluth and have just started pheasant hunting with my two lab puppies in the last two years. I hunt the WMAs from the Pine City area, west to Royalton and as far south as Princeton, quite often because it is the closest pheasant country to me. While I don't get alot of birds, I always...

I just spent 3 days hunting public land in the Ortonville area. I only got 3 roosters but me and my two young dogs put up 10-15 hens and about 5 roosters each day. Definitely not like two years ago when I was there but we saw enough birds to keep us happy and we'd have been even happier if I...
