Wisconsin pheasant season opens this month
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin's pheasant season gets underway later this month.
The season opens statewide at noon on Oct. 18. State Department of Natural Resources officials say hunters should look for birds in areas that contain adequate winter cover such as cattail marshes and dense brush intermixed with cropland, hay and grasslands.
The daily bag limit on Oct. 18 and Oct. 19 is one pheasant cock. The possession limit for those two days is two. For the rest of the season, which runs until Dec. 31, the daily bag limit is two and the possession limit is four.
An estimated 43,725 hunters went out in search of pheasants last year. They harvested 194,397 birds.
