Gov. Mark Dayton announced in Nicollet today plans to revitalize Minnesota’s pheasant hunting tradition and improve pheasant habitat, the primary goals of a four-year Pheasant Summit Action Plan resulting from the Minnesota Pheasant Summit Dayton convened in December 2014.
“For 60 years, I have enjoyed pheasant hunting in Minnesota,” Dayton said. “The decisions we make today will determine whether future generations of Minnesotans will have those same opportunities. We must work together to increase the pheasant population in our state.”
The pheasant action plan outlines ten immediate and achievable steps that will make the greatest difference in improving pheasant habitat, pheasant numbers and hunting opportunities, and includes development of an annual report card to track progress over time.
