Everything you need to know for pheasant hunting in the Panhandle this season

When and where pheasant will be stocked in the Panhandle

Pheasant will be stocked at two locations in the Panhandle- Boundary-Smith Creek WMA and the Lane Marsh parcel on Coeur d'Alene River WMA .

Approximately 50 pheasants per week will be released at each WMA from the week of Sept. 28 through Nov. 30, with one final stocking during the week of Dec. 14. Each WMA will receive a total of 601 birds for the season.

Full stocking schedules are posted at idfg.idaho.gov/hunt/pheasant/stocking .

Both WMAs have small, naturalized pheasant populations. Hunters may encounter hen pheasants, which are illegal to harvest.
