Dakota Chapter Pheasants Forever
Serving Central and Southwest North Dakota
2026 Dakota Pheasants Forever Spring Banquet
The Dakota Pheasants Forever Spring Banquet will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026 at the Bismarck Hotel and Conference Center.
Pheasants Forever’s unique model where all funds raised by the Chapter stay local and allows us to support local habitat projects including nesting cover, winter habitat, pollinator plantings, youth outreach, and food plots. Your membership dollars support the national organization that allows the local model to exist and thrive. Children are welcome to attend, become members, and purchase tickets on the youth table with a parent or guardian; however, only those youth who are ages 8-17 are eligible for the youth shotgun drawing.
Tickets will be available around the holiday season, 2025, so look for updater here, on our Facebook page, and through your mail.
Thank you to all of the sponsors, donors and members who continue to support Pheasants Forever, and the Dakota chapter, in our efforts to develop and maintain habitat.
Check back here or on our Facebook page for information updates for future Dakota Pheasants Forever Banquets, meetings and other events.
Thank you for supporting Pheasants Forever!
