FWP's pheasant stocking program releases birds each fall to increase hunter opportunity.

In 2026, the program will release pheasants on wildlife management areas, fishing access sites, DNRC property, and other areas open to public hunting throughout the state.

The goal is to help new and returning hunters find success and encourage continued interest in hunting and conservation.
