2026 Pheasant Fest-Report

[BirdDoggin]

Let's stop with the politics Labradinger. Yes, Minnesota (Minneapolis in particular) has it's issues as well as the other 49 states (including 5 territories). Most big cites in the US have huge issues.

eharlow49 is being pragmatic with his responses and nowhere in his response did I think he voted for Kamala. This is why I do not tolerate politics on this forum, because no matter left or right... you can't even be in the middle without hearing a strong opinion.

Appreciate you weighing in and lowering the temp. But I do have a question - If eharlow49 had voted for Kamala, would he no longer be welcome in the forum?

I could care less who votes for who. We vote behind closed doors for a reason. I'll leave you with this:

I take that as webguy saying that eharlow’s responses weren’t evidently one-sided so much that you could tell who he voted for.

It's comical how I don't allow politics and this is the response. Do you know how ignorant you sound? Do you know what the word pragmatic means?

I am in Arizona for the winter. Every person I have run into with Minnesota plates has responded it’s way past time for all this corruption to be exposed. It’s been going on for years. I agree with the comments to avoid the area. Until they get there house in order they should be avoided. This has nothing to do with color they would like to make it look like it is. 20 million or more people entered our country illegally. The current administration was elected with a promise to clean it up and send them back. It’s not going to be easy or pretty. Illegals do not have the constitutional protections a citizen does. Get on with it. Take a walk in the desert down here. Nothing but garbage everywhere. Backpacks, empty bottles, clothing, it’s incredible.

how's the quail hunting Ben?

?? I'm not trying to sound ignorant. You said based on eharlow's responses, you couldn't tell if he voted for Kamala. As in that he didn't bring up partisanship politics but stuck to logical reasoning. That's what I'm saying. I'm not trying to fight you.

 

[Labradinger]

As long as a warning is also given to the dude that claims black/hispanic people cant walk down the street without getting without getting their rights violated.

This thread is labeled 2026 Pheasant Fest. Let's just keep the content geared towards that and forget the rest... or maybe I'll just soft delete all the unrelated crap on this thread.

 

[BRITTMAN]

I would go back through this tread and just delete any posts with any political commentary.

 

[Mosby]

I didn't go to the show this year because of the location. Long drive to just walk around. Next years show is in Omaha. Much better location and shorter drive for me.

 

[Skadergen]

kind of been glued to this thread in hopes of seeing new and or exciting gear…… anyone see anything worth sharing?

 

[stinkbelly]

When and where is pheasant fest 2027? I would love to go.

Omaha, first week of March, 5, 6 & 7

 

[GladHunter]

I like that they pushed it later.
I wonder if they would get more excitement if the had it in August sometime. I know summer vacations would be wrapping up and all that, but I'm so ready for hunting related activities at that time. I can't be alone in that can I?

 

[Bob Peters]

I know this last one attendance was down 5,000.

 

[BRITTMAN]

It was crowded on Saturday ... not a lot of space to navigate down some aisles.

We had two free tickets ... it was free for us.

 

[goldenboy]

It was very beneficial for me. I have two new customers on my waiting list after they visited my booth. I will be traveling in Omaha next year and making my presence even larger!

I have a friend that goes every year and said there was tons of people. I checked and it looks like you got your years backwards. Glad it was a big success. More people more money for pheasants.

The 2025 National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic, held March 7–9 at the Kansas City Convention Center in Missouri, drew approximately 23,930.

The 2026 National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic, held at the Minneapolis Convention Center, drew a total attendance of 28,852.

Your right. What I meant to say is the numbers were down compared to the same venue three years prior. Looks like it was 4,300 less.
