Pheasant Country Postcard: Herding Ringnecks Thanks to Dominique Shore & Jack McLaren's awesome photo submission of their bird dog, Oscar, a 1.5 year-old Corgi mix! Corgi's are known for being strong and athletic, and are also one of the world's most popular herding breeds. "Oscar is proof that any dog, with training, can be a wonderful companion in the uplands. He found and flushed this limit of Idaho pheasants for us during the 2021/2022 season." #dogoftheday #uplandbirdhunting #idaho #publiclands

MICHIGANDERS: If you're preparing for the upland season ahead, take some time to read this blog by Michigan Pheasants Forever State Coordinator Ben Beaman. Pheasants Forever, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and our many partners on the Michigan Pheasant Restoration Initiative (MPRI) have been working hard to create and enhance pheasant habitat on public land throughout the central and southern reaches of the state for years. Pheasants Forever has raised over $1 million in the last five years through our MI Adopt-A-Game Area Program to restore and enhance over 2,000 acres of grasslands — all on public land open to hunting! The birds are there...will you be? #publiclands #habitat #uplandhunting #pheasanthunting

In the world of bird dogs and upland hunting, hoping to avoid injury is NOT a good strategy, especially in remote regions a fair distance from a veterinarian. Preparedness is key, so why not start now by developing a vet kit (carry kit) and truck kit (cache kit) for the upcoming season? Here's what Dr. Jay Brekke, DVM and diehard uplander, recommends: https://bit.ly/3dsYYMq #veterinary #birddog #uplandhunting #pheasanthunting #birddogoftheday

Pheasants, sharptails, and partridge, oh my! For those venturing West this year in pursuit of upland birds, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has just released the Block Management Access Guide and associated maps. A wonderful, cooperative program between private landowners and FWP, Block Management helps landowners manage hunting activities and provides the public with free hunting access to private land on millions of acres for 2022! https://bit.ly/3AdAX4S

Implementing conservation practices in the West can quickly become overwhelming. The time and cost are large on thousands, and sometimes hundreds of thousands, of acres. Here are great example of partnership projects with Bureau of Land Management, NRCS, and U.S. Forest Service that are broken in phases and positively improving HUGE landscapes: https://bit.ly/3QdZHQ2 #sagebrush #Grasslands #publiclands #conservation #habitat
