Pheasant Country Weather: What to Expect for Thanksgiving Weekend For hunters, Thanksgiving means time in the field with the people we hold dear. It’s a time when we can enjoy our passion for upland hunting and reflect on what matters most. We wish everyone a safe and fun weekend in the field! #pheasantsforever #thehabitatorganization

In this episode, we dive deep into the heart of Illinois upland hunting with chapter volunteer leader and bird dog devotee Freddy Reyes. Aaron Williams, PF & QF’s regional representative for northern Illinois, also provides a boots-on-the-ground upland report for early-season pheasant and quail hunting. Together, they break down common struggles for new hunters (from gear and dogs to confidence in the field) and share practical takeaways you can use on your next upland hunt.

PHESANT FACT FRIDAY: Did you know? Since the summer, pheasants have shifted their diet to meet higher winter energy needs. Grains like barley, wheat, and oats now make up only 3% of their intake, while corn peaks at 77% in December, offering a third more energy than small grains. Weed seeds and insects decline sharply in early winter where wild sunflowers drop from 9% to 2%, and insects from 16% to 2%, mainly as dead remains. Pheasant Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots #pheasantsforever #pheasantfactfriday
