Recovering the body of the birds was a top priority in the instructions given to the hunting party, but no one was able to find the carcass in the thick brush that at some points grew as tall as Walz himself.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-twitter-tweet embed--float-none embed--size-medium lazyload\" data-require=\"third-party\/twitter-widgets\">\n<div class=\"embed__content-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tim Walz brought his own gun, a beretta, to hunt for pheasants, he tells me. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>I bought it when I was we shooting a lot of trap,\u201d the Minnesota governor said. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/K1zGkWYEPY\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/K1zGkWYEPY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shawna Mizelle (@shawnamizelle) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shawnamizelle\/status\/1845136534766239825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">October 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Many of the pheasants and animals that did come up out of the tall grass and straw flew backward toward the press.

In an interview with &#8220;60 Minutes,&#8221; Harris revealed she owns a Glock, and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/kamala-harris-oprah-winfrey-michigan-campaign-event\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">during an event<\/a><\/span> with Oprah Winfrey, the former prosecutor declared, &#8220;If somebody breaks into my house, they&#8217;re getting shot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Walz told CBS News that the Beretta A400 he carried on the hunt was one he purchased when he was shooting a lot of trap. He noted that the feature of the gun had a &#8220;kickoff.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, when you get old it doesn&#8217;t hurt your shoulder as much,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>On a break to switch out the hunting dogs, Walz had locally sourced venison and a Diet Mountain Dew. He referenced Sarge, one of the three black labradors that led the majority of the hunt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sarge is over here saying I just worked for two damn hours and these guys couldn&#8217;t even shoot one,&#8221; he joked.<\/p>\n<p>Walz, who grew up in rural Nebraska and frequents farms and football games on the campaign trail, is seeking to appeal to male and rural voters. A CBS News poll conducted in August shows <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/new-poll-kamala-harris-policies-trump-democratic-convention-2024\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">a gender gap<\/a><\/span> among likely voters approaching 2020 levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the poll, 45% of likely male voters said they would choose Harris, compared to 54% who said they would support former President Donald Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the poll, women were also more likely than men to see Harris as someone who &#8220;fights for people like you a lot.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Walz has previously bragged about being the best shot in Congress when he served in the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Reminiscing Saturday about going on previous shoots with his fellow Minnesota congressional delegation, Walz said, &#8220;I used to love that congressional shoot, but it was kind of dangerous because it was all Second Amendment guys that didn&#8217;t really know&#8221; how to shoot.<\/p>\n<p>When someone in the hunting party mentioned Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, the Republican vice presidential candidate, Walz asked, &#8220;Do those guys shoot?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump does not hunt. CBS News has reached out to Vance&#8217;s team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the Trump campaign called the Saturday hunt &#8220;staged,&#8221; and Trump campaign co-chair Chris LaCivita said Walz was &#8220;bumbling around trying to load his shotgun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<p>                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/election-2024\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--sm\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n            More<br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/><\/svg><\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/ShawnaMizelle_author\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Shawna Mizelle<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Shawna Mizelle is a 2024 campaign reporter for CBS News.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/tim-walz-pheasant-hunting-beretta-minnesota\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sleepy Eye, Minnesota \u2014 Carrying a Beretta shotgun, Minnesota Gov.
