This year, for the first time, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever will recognize a national “Volunteer of the Year.” We have chosen eight finalists (Four Pheasants Forever and four Quail Forever) for the award. The winner will be announced at the upcoming National Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic, which runs March 1-3 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Over the course of the next four weeks we’ll get to know each finalist, and celebrate their accomplishments in the world of habitat conservation. The next volunteer we’ll highlight is David Snipes, from the Low Country Chapter of Quail Forever in South Carolina. To learn more about David and what makes him an incredible volunteer, head to the link below.
Quail Fact Friday!💡 Coyotes are commonly perceived as quail predators, but that might not be entirely true. A coyote might consume an adult quail or partake in a clutch of eggs when the chance arises, but these are likely opportunistic occurrences. Some studies propose that coyotes could potentially benefit quail populations indirectly by mitigating predation pressures from other species. Diet studies done by Texas A&M University at the Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch has suggested that coyotes may be “indirect allies of quail.” In the study, “researchers analyzed over 1,000 coyote scats in a three-year period and found only one containing evidence of quail predation. The most common food items were rodents like cotton rats and plants like the prickly pear cactus. Coyotes on the ranch also consumed five potential predators of quail: snakes, raccoons, skunks, badgers, and feral hogs.” #quailforever #quail #bobwhitequail #quailfactfriday

High school and college students interested in a career in conservation, this program is for you! Link below. https://pheasantsforever.org/j2cc Journey to Conservation Careers is a national program aimed at high school and college students who have an interest in a career in conservation. We know students are busier than ever, which is why Journey to Conservation Careers is a self-paced program, focusing on upland habitat, ecology, and biology, which allows students to tailor the experience to their lifestyle. Additionally, students have the unique opportunity to build hands-on experience during the third module of this program, which includes a chance to job shadow a local resource professional. Students will learn skills to help build their resumes, while providing networking opportunities to help get their foot in the conservation door all the while earning college credits. The Journey to Conservation Careers program was developed in partnership with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Bellevue University

Great to host the leadership team from Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever at Brays—including CEO Marilyn Vetter. These groups have been doing great work for a long time and are deserving of our support. Taking aim at an exploding covey of quail is a magical experience, and for many it is a baptism into a lifelong passion for bird hunting. Wild quail hold a soft spot in the heart of North American hunters, and worthy conservation groups are addressing the declining numbers. @quail_forever @pheasants_forever @braysislandplantation #quailhunting #quail #wildquail #huntingisconservation #sportingclassicstv
