It would be easy and obvious to write a Thanksgiving Story about the moments of fall. Roosters flushing from bluestem and cattails. Quail exploding out the other side of a plum thicket. One last hanger-on sharptail hunkering in the snowberries ahead of my bird dog. And other such magical upland moments. But not all those moments would relate to hunting. One last sip of coffee before stepping off. The smell of a crushed head of yellow coneflower raised to my nose before I scatter another pod of seeds to the wind. The buzz of October bees in the purple asters of October: one last sip of nectar against winter. That’s the easy stuff. Let’s instead talk about what’s hard: The work the Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever family is doing to save the uplands and grow the upland hunting tradition … and in particular, the work of our chapters and volunteers. It is one of the privileges of my life to visit such folks in the fall and celebrate the work being done for upland habitat and our hunting heritage - Pheasants Forever Editor, Tom Carpenter To read the full article, "Moments of Fall and of Thanksgiving," head to the link below https://pheasantsforever.org/BlogLanding/Blogs/Pheasants-Forever/Moments-of-Fall-and-of-Thanksgiving.aspx 📸: Matt Addington

FALL HERBICIDE SITE PREP. Get a head start on next year's unwanted broadleafs. Late fall is a great time to chase roosters, quail, grouse and big game, but it’s also the ideal time for habitat site preparation. To learn some best practices for what you need to do this fall, head to the link below.

The second stop of the 2022 Rooster Road Trip found us hours away from where we chased sharp-tailed grouse the day before. And although there was some familiarity in being back in what felt like pheasant country, this Teton River Build a Wildlife Area and the animals that call it home were anything but normal for most of us.

[BREAKING NEWS] Today, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service announced its decision to list two distinct populations of lesser prairie chickens under the Endangered Species Act. An estimated 27,000 birds remain in a five-state region. PF & QF believe voluntary, incentive-based conservation programs on private lands are the greatest opportunity to positively impact lesser prairie chickens and ultimately, save them.

There’s nothing better than a bowl of rich, creamy, thick, stick-to-your-bones soup. This pheasant, or quail wild rice soup does the trick at hunting camp (make-ahead and heat up), on the porch on a cool fall evening, or in front of the fire on a cold winter’s night. Wild rice soup just shouts Comfort Food.

ROOSTER ROAD TRIP XIII EP. 2: TETON RIVER BEARS AND BIRDS, IS LIVE! Head to the link to watch the full version of Rooster Road Trip Episode 2: Teton River Bears and Birds. https://pheasantsforever.org/Rooster-Road-Trip.aspx The second stop of the 2022 Rooster Road Trip found us hours away from where we chased sharp-tailed grouse the day before. And although there was some familiarity in being back in what felt like pheasant country, this Teton River Build a Wildlife Area and the animals that call it home were anything but normal for most of us. Sure, the sweeping views, varied elevation, and picturesque river flowing through the heart of this property were certainly unique. But the fact we were officially in bear country coupled with the knowledge that a hunter had encountered a grizzly here less than a week earlier, made it clear that we were chasing birds in an extremely unique setting...
