"Folks are finding CRP that wasn't hayed and some other good hunting spots. Guys and gals are finding not only pheasants, but quail too. Releasing these birds gives the people that don't get out that often a place to go where they know they can see a few birds."
Negus says it depends on the size of the WMA, but around 200 to 400 birds are released at each one.
SEASON
Pheasant & Quail: Oct. 31, 2020 – Jan. 31, 2021

To entice more people to go pheasant hunting, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission released hundreds of birds over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend at various wildlife management areas throughout the state.
Lucas Negus, Northeast District Manager of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says a few WMA’s pheasants that were released in Northeast Nebraska include Oak Valley in Madison County, Powder Creek in Dixon County and Wilkinson in Platte County.
