Saint Paul, Minn. - Minnesota’s pheasant hunting season opens this Saturday, Oct. 11. While the prospects for this season are good, the outlook for future seasons - because of wildlife habitat losses - is murky. That’s why Pheasants Forever strongly encourages Minnesota pheasant hunters and other voters to vote YES for The Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment on the November 4th ballot. [More...]
Funding for wildlife habitat remains near historic lows, and over the next 25 years, over 1 million acres of farmland, wooded lands and other natural areas will be lost as Minnesota continues growing faster than any other state in the Midwest. Voting YES will ensure $100 million for Minnesota’s Outdoor Heritage Fund, $100 million for the Clean Water Fund, $59 million for the Cultural Heritage Fund and $43 Million for the Parks and Trails Fund - all annually. Choosing not to vote on this amendment when you go to the polls will result in a vote of NO. The result of the November 4th voting will drastically impact Minnesota and Minnesotans far into the future.
To support the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, Minnesota Pheasants Forever has donated $20,000 to the Vote Yes Minnesota Campaign. “While we’re extremely excited about the arrival of pheasant season, it’s important that we also think about future generations and the declining state of our natural resources. The ring-neck pheasant has brought colorful beauty and hunting opportunities to Minnesota’s farmland for decades. Voting YES this November 4th is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ensure our children and grandchildren continue to have those opportunities,” said Matt Holland, Senior Field Coordinator for Pheasants Forever.
Pheasants Forever has several public service announcements (PSAs) in support of voting YES for the Amendment critical to ensuring Minnesota’s outdoor future. If you’d like to do more to support this Amendment, please ask your local radio station to play one of the 15, 30 or 60 second PSAs as often as possible before the November 4th vote. If you’d like MP3 files of these PSAs, please email stpete@pheasantsforever.org with your request.

If unsure as to whether or not you are a registered voter in the state of Minnesota, or if you’re unclear about where to vote, please visit the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website.
