Quail Fact Friday! Among all North America’s quail, the scaled quail, often called “blue quail” or “cottontops,” consume more grass seed than any other species of quail. These hardy birds of the American Southwest rely on grass seeds year-round, alongside mesquite, ragweed, sunflower, seasonal greens, and insects. Their seed-heavy diet helps them thrive in arid grasslands. Quail Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots #quailforever #quailfactfriday

PHEASANT FACT FRIDAY - Winter nights are a freezing 15 hours long, and pheasants will be ravenous by breakfast time. The 10 grams of food in a bird’s crop at bedtime passed through in four to five hours. When the crop is empty, pheasants still have 10 hours of darkness until breakfast. During these long nights, the availability of roosting habitat is extremely important. This habitat is the idle grassland or wetlands cover where birds spend their nights. The quality of this habitat determines how much energy the birds need to stay warm ... in the same way the quality of your windows and insulation determines how many cords of wood you will need to stay warm. Without good roosting cover, birds must use more fat to survive until breakfast. A couple weeks of cold, 15-hour nights without roosting will kill pheasants.

Federal Premium Upland Paper: The Shotgun Shell of Christmas Past "I could go through all the specs until our eyes crossed. Muzzle velocity, ounces of shot, ideal shot size. But the bottom line is, Upland Paper shoots just as reliably and consistently as every shell Federal makes, and that's as complicated as it needs to be. Paper shells are all about the vibe. They're about connecting with a bygone era of upland hunting. So throw a box in your stocking this year. Test them out in a snowy cattail slough as the season comes to an end — and smell the Christmas spirit." - Casey Sill, PF Senior Public Relations Specialist Read Casey's full review of the Federal Upland Paper shells here: https://bit.ly/4q8WdzY
