Let’s talk crops. Ever wondered what the birds in your bag have been snacking on? Sometimes it’s obvious — like the crop (pun intended) you were standing in when you shot the bird. Other times, it can reveal how birds use the landscape throughout the day as they feed. What is the most interesting thing you've found in a bird crop?

Pheasant Fact Friday November is here and the first winter snows threaten. With the first real breath of winter, pheasants begin to drift toward thicker cover. If shelterbelts, wetlands, idle grass areas and crop fields are properly located, birds don’t need to move far. Ideally these cover types should be located within 0.2 miles of each other. The farther the bird has to travel, the worse the winter habitat. Where winter cover is not properly spaced, pheasants will move greater than 10 miles. Unfortunately, when winter cover is this sparse, birds must use more energy locating habitat — and once found, this sparse cover is subject to over crowding and overuse. Pheasant Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots

Once again this November, 24/7 Travel Stores is teaming up with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever to generate funds to help create places where upland birds thrive and forever memories are created. When you stop in at any of the ten 24/7 Travel Stores across Kansas (or donate online), you can make a donation to Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever's Kansas Build A Wildlife Area® fund, and each store will match that donation, up to a total of $2,000. Doubling your money is always a good deal … especially when the end result is permanently protecting habitat for upland birds and all the other creatures that call grasslands home. Stop by a 24/7 Travel Store or donate online today: https://www.pheasantsforever.org/247 #pheasantsforever #thehabitatorganization
