“Overall, pheasant hunting this year in Minnesota should be comparable to last year,” says Woodley. “The rooster index this year was 8.8 roosters per 100 miles driven, and in 2023, it was 8.6 roosters per 100 miles driven. The regions that should provide the best hunting opportunities in the state are the Southwest and West-Central, followed by the South-Central region.”

In a life cut short May 9, Stacy Dvorak, 41, of Belle Plaine, impacted wildlife habitat as a driving force for the Scott County Pheasants Forever chapter. But she was perhaps better known for launching and spearheading Charlie’s Hero Hunt, an annual free pheasant hunting and target shooting event held to thank soldiers for their service.
