Upland game and waterfowl hunts are already underway with the general season pheasant and quail hunts opening November 1st. “We release pen-reared 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,” shares DWR Upland Game Coordinator Heather Talley. “If you do choose to hunt on one of our WMAs, be willing to hike a long way away from parking areas and other hunters to increase your chances of finding birds. Also note that release sites within the WMAs will vary from week to week.” Locations in Northeastern Utah where pheasants will be released include Browns Park WMA, Stewart Lake WMA, Pariette Wetlands, Little Montes Creek WMA, Kevin Conway WMA, and Starvation State Park below the dam.
