Youth Pheasant Weekend Oct. 6-7

North Dakota’s two-day youth pheasant season is Oct. 6-7. Legally licensed residents and nonresidents ages 15 and younger may hunt roosters statewide.

Lawmakers in 2007 allowed the Game and Fish Department to establish a pheasant hunting season for youth. The age requirement of 15 and younger was established to remain consistent with other youth hunting seasons.

Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. The daily bag limit, licensing requirements, and all other regulations for the regular pheasant season apply. Youth ages 12 and older need to have passed a certified hunter education course.

An adult at least 18 years of age must accompany the youth hunter in the field. The adult may not carry a firearm nor hunt any wildlife species
