WATCH NOW‼️Rooster Road Trip XV Ep. 4 | Leks & Longtails | 2024 Public Land North Dakota Upland Hunt. Link below! https://youtu.be/GjZl3CxAkLI Roughly 13,000 years ago, a continental ice sheet began to disintegrate and its meltwaters created the massive proglacial Lake Agassiz. At its peak, this lake was larger than all of the Great Lakes combined. But what does a giant dried-up ancient lake have to do with the Rooster Road Trip? The Red River Valley consists of the lakebed of Lake Agassiz and that happens to be where we found ourselves on the last day of the trip. This area has been considered one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world, and nearly all land in the valley on both sides of the Red River has been converted from the original tall-grass prairie to cropland – but not all of it. University of North Dakota professor and Pheasants Forever National Board Member, Dr. Susan Felege, joined us for the day’s hunt as we navigated cattails, lowlands, more cattails, and raised beaches that marked the former boundaries of Lake Agassiz. With Susan by our side, we were quickly enrolled in a masterclass on prairie grouse. And in between cautionary history lessons and bold goals for the future of the area, we successfully moved around a few sharptails and Susan was able to bag her first limit of Grand Forks pheasants. It was truly a day to remember. Thank you to our Rooster Road Trip sponsors: Garmin Fish & Hunt, Federal Premium, Browning, YETI, SoundGear, Orvis, Irish Setter Boots, Ruff Land Performance Kennels

📸’s from Rooster Road Trip Ep. 3: Mixed Bags & Cover | 2024 Public Land North Dakota Upland Hunt. Check out the full photo gallery and watch Episode 3 at the link below! Roosterroadtrip.org The third episode of this year’s Rooster Road Trip highlighted two days of hunting two completely different regions of North Dakota while linking up two folks who have personal and professional stake in the game. First up, we hit the fields with Cayla Bendel north of Bismark. Cayla used to work for Pheasants Forever and now the North Dakota Game and Fish Department is lucky enough to have her as their R3 Coordinator. As an avid outdoorswoman and mother who loves hunting and fishing; the recruitment, retention, and reactivation of hunters, and what they represent for the future of conservation, is near and dear to her heart. After battling high winds all day, we considered ourselves lucky to secure a mixed bag consisting of a lone sharptail and some pheasants. Saying goodbye to Cayla and western North Dakota wasn’t easy, but we knew we had to hop in the trucks and log some major miles due east. What was destination? The Red River Valley. The next day started bright and early with Seth Owens. Seth is Pheasants Forever’s North Dakota Education and Outreach Coordinator and a certified grouse enthusiast. If there’s anything he loves more than hunting, it’s introducing people to this unique area and the birds that call it home. Mentoring a new hunter is something we should all aspire to do. After all, hunters are the visionaries behind the United States’ conservation movement and public land system and should always be at the table to help define the future of both. This is why educating, engaging, and expanding the upland conservation community is one of the four strategic priorities that drive our work every day.
