Pheasants Forever and dog trainers around the country frequently get asked by waterfowlers if there's a path forward for transitioning a duck dog to the uplands. As PF staffer Casey Sill writes about and world-class trainer Josh Miller of River Stone Kennels, LLC acknowledges, we can have the best of both worlds with the proper application of time and patience for those “aha” moments you'll never forget: https://bit.ly/3liydLd Have you transitioned your duck dog to the uplands or vice-versa?

As part of our Bird Dogs For Habitat campaign, we want to highlight a few of our favorite bird dog breeds and we’re starting off with flushers. Ranging from a 25-pound English cocker to a 90-pound lab, these close working, natural retrievers have a special place in our hearts. What’s your favorite breed? Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever's Bird Dogs for Habitat campaign challenges upland hunters to cast a vote and make a donation on behalf of their favorite bird dog breed. All tax-deductible donations support Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever's wildlife habitat conservation mission – and the places where bird dogs love to hunt. https://www.birddogsforhabitat.org #birddogsforhabitat #birddogoftheday #uplandbirdhunting #WhatGetsYouOutdoors

"We must take the time to learn about our land, immerse ourselves in it, on a local level and from afar. After all, one doesn’t have to be in the uplands to answer its call." On a recent trip to The Aloha State, Pheasants Forever's Marissa Jensen found parallels between the Big Island and our own threats to grasslands in America's lower 48 states: https://bit.ly/3MffYlO #CalloftheUplands #habitat #grasslands #pheasantsforever

Some of Pheasants Forever's most thriving chapters can be found in the most unusual places. The North Central Pennsylvania Chapter of PF is located in the heart of the “PA Wilds,” comprising over 2 million acres of hardwood forest in Elk County, Pennsylvania. Despite this limitation, volunteers have carved out an important niche in their territory and have made it their mission to promote, educate and provide opportunity to participate in the tradition and community of upland hunting: https://bit.ly/3w6MEIt #pheasantsforever #volunteering #learntohunt #womenonthewing #habitat
