Pheasant Country LTD volunteers are excited about the upcoming Pheasant Banquet to be held in the World’s Only Corn Palace,which is Mitchell’s official pheasant opener kickoff. We are not only celebrating our 23rd year, but we
are also celebrating the 100thAnniversary for the state of South Dakota receiving our first Ringneck pheasants – hence the name Pheasantennial!
Last year was a record year for South Dakota in the number of non-resident pheasant hunters with over 103,000 coming to our wonderful state, with our nine-county area having 16.5% of the out-of-state hunters. Our area harvested over
347,000 birds!
Come to the World’s Only Corn Palace on Friday, October 17th – doors open at
5 p.m. to enjoy our delicious roast pheasant dinner and refreshments along with many chances to win prizes at the many raffle boards and tables. Pheasant
Country will again be giving away a Charles Daly F. Hunter 20 gauge shotgun donated by Wayne Edinger to a lucky, young first time local hunter who successfully passed the Hunt Safe program. We will again have artists, John Green and James Green present along with a local wildlife artist Nicole Heitzman. Our auction will feature original art and prints by these artists and by Mark Anderson and Larry Green. We appreciate the support these artists give our organization.
To get your tickets in advance, please fax the form on this newsletter to (605) 996-1232. Local people may purchase tickets from any Pheasant Country committee member they know or at the Chamber of Commerce office. Tickets may be purchased at the door as well for $45.00 each.
Current Pheasant Country landowners/contract holders will receive a free pass to the Banquet by presenting a special postcard that they will receive in the mail (limit
two free tickets per household).
