Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Ryan Sparks during his first week as the new editor of Quail Forever Journal. Sparks talks about growing up in Nebraska and how quail have played an important role in every stage of his life leading to his dream job with Quail Forever.

If you feel compelled to bring someone new along with you, or take someone who has been out of the field for a long time, take our Hunter Mentor Pledge. It is Quail Forever’s commitment to carrying on the hunting and conservation legacy. As an added bonus, when you take the pledge you are entered to win a guided upland hunt for two. We need much more Hunter Mentor Pledge representation from quail range. Don’t let quail hunting become a fireside story about what people used to do. Help us make sure that it’s still something “we do” in the decades to come. Join your fellow hunters and take the pledge at quailforever.org/mentorpledge.

Watch “That’s A Desert Day: Quail Hunting New Mexico” Presented by OnX Hunt and Quail Forever at the link in our bio. “I think the mountain landscape right here in this spot, like so many in New Mexico, deserve respect and attention…I feel like it’s so underappreciated. But it has that bad reputation of poking you and wanting to sting you at every opportunity possible… that’s just a desert day though… So if you’re ready to challenge yourself and your bird dog, come hunt these guys and you will find some fun.” #quailforever #onxhunt #quailhunting #quail #scaledquail #gambelsquail
