Quail Fact Friday! Fact: Quail are better than pheasants. Because quail are true Americans, while pheasants strut around like imported royalty. Because while pheasant hunters sleep off last night’s beers, quail hunters are up at dawn, oiling their vintage double guns. Because pheasant hunters dress like traffic cones and march in military formations, while quail hunters gracefully glide through the field. Because pheasants are gaudy, loud, and slow. Because covey rises are explosive, heart-stopping, and humbling. But in the end, both birds make our days afield richer and remind us why habitat matters. Which birds holds your heart – quail or pheasants? #quailforever #quailfactfriday #thehabitatorganization

Great news for conservation and working grasslands! Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are proud to support the bipartisan CRP Improvement and Flexibility Act. This bill was introduced yesterday by U.S. Senators John Thune (R-S.D.), Amy Klobuchar (D.-Minn.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Tina Smith (D-Minn.), who are members of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. The bill expands upon legislation introduced in the previous Congress to strengthen the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). “The Conservation Reserve Program is one of our nation’s most effective tools for improving wildlife habitat, water quality, and soil health on private lands, and is a vital part of the farm safety net,” said Andrew Schmidt, Director of Government Affairs for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. “The CRP Improvement and Flexibility Act will make this critical program work better for farmers, ranchers, rural communities, and wildlife. PF & QF are grateful to Majority Leader Thune, Ranking Member Klobuchar, Senator Moran and Senator Smith for their continued leadership in strengthening CRP and ensuring it remains a cornerstone of private lands conservation.” Click the link below to learn more about this legislation. https://bit.ly/3GUYrlD #quailforever #thehabitatorganization
