Gov. Peggy Flanagan managed to bag any pheasants as they hunted near Sleepy Eye, a town about 90 miles (145 kilometers) southwest of Minneapolis. One person in the governor\u2019s own party shot a bird, while nobody in the lieutenant governor\u2019s group did, but six birds were harvested among other hunting parties that participated in a community luncheon afterward, the governor\u2019s office said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can hide, they can get under the grass,\u201d Walz could be heard saying as they searched for one downed bird.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign of Vice President <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/kamala-harris\">Kamala Harris<\/a><\/span> has been <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/harris-male-voters-sexism-trump-support-obama-bcf8dbcce4700ba24725ca178f7753b0\">openly confronting<\/a><\/span> the question of whether some men are reluctant to vote for her because she\u2019s a woman.

They held their shotguns raised to avoid endangering the energetic pointers and Labradors that tried to sniff out birds for the hunters.<\/p>\n<p>While Walz had a top rating from the National Rifle Association during his 12 years in Congress, he changed his positions on gun issues after a series of school shootings.
