An Interesting Afternoon At The Range......

speaking of hen phesants, I found this in the Minnesota Statutes but it is not in the DNR Hunting handbook.

97B.715 PHEASANTS.
Subdivision 1. Stamp required. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) or section 97A.405,
subdivision 2 , a person required to possess a small game license may not hunt pheasants without a
pheasant stamp validation.
(b) The following persons are exempt from this subdivision:
(1) residents under age 18 or over age 65;
(2) persons hunting on licensed commercial shooting preserves; and
(3) resident disabled veterans with a license issued under section 97A.441, subdivision 6a.
Subd. 2. Daily and possession hen pheasant limits. A person may not take more than one
hen pheasant in one day or possess more than two hen pheasants.
Subd. 3. Hunting hours. A person may not take pheasants between the evening time that the
commissioner establishes by rule and 9:00 a.m.
History: 1986 c 386 art 2 s 60; 1988 c 588 s 7; 1991 c 259 s 23; 1997 c 216 s 85; 2002 c
323 s 13; 2007 c 57 art 1 s 99

So can you take a hen pheasant as long as you are within your limit? I have not done this, but it was brought to my attention.

Wow talk about some thread drift.

the regs specify daily limit is 2 roosters... I'm assuming the DNR regs supercede the statute, but I have been mistaken once or twice.

Rog at BPR doesn't let anyone but law enforcement draw from holsters or have weapons holstered in the bay as far as i knew. Let alone a 12 year old, he was probably driving cause the father was drunk

At BPR, only LE can draw and shoot from the holster. Carry Permit holders can shoot the guns they're carrying-they're allowed to draw the gun from the holster once while facing downrange, and then do their shooting. When finished, while facing downrange, they can holster up again. In the incident with the dad & kid, there was no attempt to draw and shoot, it was the fact that the kid was wearing a gun that had us all shaking our heads.

Only cock pheasants can be taken:
