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

Sporting Dog Shorts Fueled by Pro Plan Sporting Dogs - Understanding Nutrition and Energy Needs in Your Hunting Dog As hunters, we spend countless hours conditioning our dogs, planning hunts, and fine-tuning every detail of our time in the field. But one question I hear often, especially as hunting season gets underway, has less to do with training or tactics and more to do with nutrition: "Should I be feeding my dog during the hunt?" Seth Bynum, DVM covers the answer to this question and more here: https://bit.ly/48kgfkS #pheasantsforever #proplansportingdogs

Pheasant Hunting 1946 - Honoring a Generation, Re-Creating an Era The basic principles of upland hunting are timeless. Boots in the dirt. Dog on the ground. Bird in the air. But the minutia — the accoutrements, if you will — is ever-changing. Strip away our Gore-Tex, GPS, Vibram-soled comforts and you're left with a completely different experience. That's precisely my kind of hunt. I've spent the better part of my life trying to understand and appreciate those who came before us. It's my obsession, and I've found it's best accomplished by literally putting yourself in someone else's shoes.
