This Old Gun // "A Tale of Two Shotguns" When I was 13, my mother remarried. Not long after, we moved from a small town to outside an even smaller one in rural Oklahoma. To say my world changed is an understatement. I was turned loose in the outdoors and ultimately adopted by the man she had married. My new father introduced me to quail, the land, and how to see the world with a hunter's eye — and perhaps nothing holds those memories more vividly than two of his old shotguns. Click the link to read more about these old guns and how they shaped a young mans life and career. https://bit.ly/4nbtgl8 Photos and story by Tell Judkins This story originally appeared in the Fall 2025 issue of Quail Forever Journal #quailforever #thehabitatorganization

Pheasant Fact Friday As food intake increases for both roosters and hens, most of the increase goes to fat production. Reserves are located along the breast muscles and around the internal organs. A hen's breast fat increases from 0.3 grams to 6.0 grams from September to October, and the amount of visceral fat also increases dramatically. This increase shows the urgency with which the hen must prepare for winter. A hen’s fat level in September is typically her lowest of the entire year. Which means October is the first month she has gained weight since last April. Pheasant Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots #pheasantsforever #pheasantfactfriday #thehabitatorganization

Quail Fact Friday Did you know that scaled quail, also known as the “blue quail” or “cottontops,” are one of the six quail species native to the United States? Thriving in the arid grasslands of the Southwest and into Central Mexico, scaled quail are built for tough country. Females typically lay 9–16 eggs per clutch (most often 12–14), and their eggs incubate for 21–23 days. Scaled quail also commonly double-brood (producing two nests in a single season). When it comes to food, scaled quail are opportunists. They eat seeds year-round, favoring mesquite, snakeweed, ragweed, sunflower, plus leaves, fruits, and insects. In summer, their diet shifts to green vegetation and bugs, both of which also provide crucial moisture in dry landscapes.
