SEASONAL SATURDAY!

With Minnesota's pheasant season opening today, this seemed like a good photo to share. This pile of birds was to be utilized for a special event for veterans. Here's the caption information from this photo published in the Oct. 18, 1949, Globe:

Plenty of Pheasants for Eighth Annual Pheasant Dinner for Hospitalized Veterans
Cock pheasants for the eighth annual pheasant dinner for hospitalized veterans were piled 210 deep here Monday after contributions from sportsmen in the area had been collected. Shown looking over the ringnecks are, left to right, John Huyck, Game Warden Ed Johnston of Roseau, Ray Johnson and Game Warden Bert Getty of Worthington.
