Pheasant near Medicine Hat

[Scottmisfits]

Long shot here guys but I'm working in Medicine Hat. I'm looking for a place close by that there are some pheasants. I have limited time after work but would still like to get out during legal light. I get off work at 6:30 so it has to be close. Any help is appreciated.

Pheasants don't open up around the Hat until Oct 15th.

Yeah, but I would like to scout a little. Just looking for some area's that I can start to look at and. Have get permission on if I'm still down here when it opens.

I did find a couple of release sites that seem pretty close as well.

Unfortunately by Oct. 15 6:30pm is sunset and it'll be dark by the time you get away from all the acreages close to town. Best spots i know of nearby are all 20-25 minutes from town. If you're not working Saturdays get out early and head toward areas around Irvine, Rattlesnake Lake, or Murray Lake.

Cheers
Chris
