Fargo Valley City, ND, September 26, 2026 — The North Dakota Game and Fish Department has announced its annual youth pheasant hunting weekend, slated to take place statewide on October 3 and 4. This special event is designed to provide a unique hunting experience for young enthusiasts before the commencement of the general pheasant season.

Participation in the youth pheasant weekend is open to individuals aged 15 and younger. These young hunters will have the opportunity to pursue pheasants across the state. A key stipulation for the event requires that each youth hunter be accompanied by an adult. This accompanying adult must be at least 18 years of age. However, the adult chaperone is prohibited from carrying a firearm during the hunt, emphasizing the youth’s role as the primary hunter.

Officials stated that the weekend serves as an important learning platform for developing young sportsmen and sportswomen. It offers a controlled environment for them to gain practical experience in hunting techniques, game identification, and safe firearm handling under supervision. This initiative aims to foster a connection with the outdoors and conservation ethics from an early age.

The general pheasant season in North Dakota is scheduled to open following the conclusion of the youth weekend, providing a seamless transition for hunters. Further details regarding regulations, licensing, and specific hunting zones will be made available through the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s official channels. The dates of October 3-4 are fixed for this youth-focused opportunity, encouraging families and mentors to engage with the tradition of pheasant hunting.
