You’ll be hunting the fields owned and maintained by Upland Inn Hunts. Upland Inn prides itself in providing some of the best wild pheasant hunting in the world. And with highest limit in the nation at 4 roosters per day, they provide you 33% more harvested birds than other states, like South Dakota. They invest extensive resources in their 21 CRP fields to provide everything a pheasant needs to thrive. This starts with the backbone of a pheasants’ habitat needs in well maintained native grass. They use controlled burns to prevent the native grass from becoming too thick and rank, strip disking to open up the ground for broods to use as bugging areas, inter-seeding to provide more forb and legume growth (that studies show increases insect numbers by 300%), and food plots to provide an excellent food source during fall and winter.

You will need to bring this license with you:

Adult Hunter’s Education Certificate (online course)
Non-Resident – 108 – Hunt License (state website)

In addition to your hunting license, you’ll need to bring eye protection (colored lenses preferred), weather-appropriate upland game hunting pants/chaps, jacket, bird vest, and blaze orange hat.
