The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources reminds hunters that the general-season pheasant and quail hunts open Saturday, November 4th and there are things hunters in northeastern Utah need to consider. DWR releases pheasants on various wildlife management areas and Walk-In Access properties around the state each week during the general-season hunt to provide additional opportunities for hunters. In Northeastern Utah, hunters should try to target the areas where the DWR will release pheasants on the wildlife management areas in the region. Pheasants can also be found on some agricultural areas on private lands. Remember to obtain written permission before hunting on private property. In general, pheasants inhabit areas with nearby fields of wheat, corn or other plants that provide feed for them.
