Minnesota's August Heats Up
With Pheasants Forever
Hunting seasons are still weeks away, but Pheasants Forever (PF)

about the outdoors this fall.
Wadena County Residents Form
Pheasants Forever Chapter
Minnesota's 73rd PF chapter focused on improving wildlife
habitat and youth involvement. Wadena, Minn. – June 13, 2007 –
Conservationists, hunters and wildlife enthusiasts from Wadena

focus its efforts on pheasant and wildlife habitat projects and
youth conservation education initiatives in Wadena County and the
surrounding area.
Cashing In On Metro
Bucks By T.R. Michels
Whitetail hunters are learning that the place to hunt for
trophies may not be wilderness areas or farms, but in and around
major metropolitan areas. Many of the freeways surrounding these
areas throughout the United States cut through old farm lots,
agricultural fields, swamps ravines, and cross wooded creeks and
river bottoms. These areas often remain undeveloped for years,
providing excellent feeding and bedding areas for white-tailed
deer. Some of the property may be purchased by large
corporations that wish to build corporate headquarters in wooded
areas.
Corn Country Bucks By
T.R. Michels
In much of North America
white-tailed deer can be found in and near cornfields. In the
Midwestern cornbelt a majority of the whitetail's habitat may be
corn. With the large size of these fields, and with the lack of
wooded areas whitetail deer, including trophy bucks, travel,
feed and bed in the corn. Because these fields offer security,
bedding cover and food the deer spend all day in the corn. The
often move out of the corn only at night as they go to water and
search for clover, alfalfa, soybeans, winter wheat, grasses in
CRP lands, and berries or nuts small hedgerows, ditches, fence
lines, creek bottoms and woods.

Caledonia, Minn. - The Southeast
Minnesota Bobwhite Chapter of Quail Forever (QF), Minnesota's only

Spring Turkey Scouting /
Scouting For The Turkey Opener - By T.R. Michels
It was still dark as I turned the Suburban off the gravel road
onto the field access road that ended at oak woods a half mile
away. Not wanting to alert the turkeys, I turned off the engine
and got out, quietly closing the door behind me. I reached into my
turkey vest, pulled out my Lohman owl hooter and blew eight notes,
imitating the call of a Barred Owl.
Reading
White-tailed Deer Signs - By T.R.
Michels
White-tailed deer leave
several different signs as evidence of where they have been.
Both bucks and does leave behind trails, tracks droppings and
beds. Bucks also leave behind rubs and scrapes as they prepare
for the breeding season or "rut" during the fall. Knowing how to
read these signs can help you to know when and where to find
white-tailed deer throughout the year.

Area campaign. Through the Build a Wildlife Area campaign, PF

What is The Rut? -
by T.R. Michels
Scientifically speaking
the term The Rut refers to the time-frame when a male
deer (of any species) is capable of breeding, which is generally
accepted as from the time when a male sheds the velvet on its
antlers in late summer or early fall, to the time it drops its
antlers in winter or early spring; or as the time from when the
first female comes into estrous, to the time when most of the
females no longer come into estrous.
