Before departing for home, we wanted to visit a spot where another adventure could soon start or finish, for our group or anyone else, at the Meger Wildlife Management Area.

In talking with pheasant hunters at hotels, restaurants and in the field across South Dakota and Minnesota this week, this is the shotgun we were asked about and the one that had to be held.

The best thing about hunting pheasants in the Marshall, Minnesota, area, isn’t that there are 40,000 acres available to the public lands hunter. It’s that all those acres are within 30 miles of town.
