WATCH NOW‼️Rooster Road Trip XV Ep. 1 | Cattails & Cackles | 2024 Public Land North Dakota Pheasant Hunt. Link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfob3mDb40U&t=929s The 15th year of Pheasants Forever’s Rooster Road Trip kicks off with the group hunting permanently protected and publicly accessible acres in western North Dakota. Finding Pheasants wasn’t a problem, but keeping them in shotgun range certainly was a challenge! Luckily, the bird dogs were more than up to the challenge of reining in some wily ringnecks – watch for yourself to see how it all played out.

If you took some time out of your busy fall schedule to vote last week – thank you. Your civic engagement is not only a duty, but a meaningful contribution to shaping the future we share as conservationists and hunters. Your news feeds are probably flooded with punditry on the outcomes of the election and filled with anxious or elated speculation about what this election means for the nation. But what about for a conservation non-profit like Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever? In short: Our mission remains the same today as at our founding 42 years ago. Looking to the future, our team will continue to execute our strategic priorities, deliver vital habitat and access across the country, and educate, engage and expand the upland conservation community to amplify our mission. We will also maintain our nonpartisan approach to advocacy, because we know that even in these highly partisan times, conservation transcends politics.
