IT'S A DOG LIFE MEMBER BLITZ, and your dog wants you to answer the call by adding a Quail Forever “Bird Dog Life Member” to the list of your pup’s accomplishments! Purchase a Dog Life Membership today and claim your FREE Yeti Boomer 8 Dog Bowl or SportDOG BRAND SportHunter 1225 training collar. LINK IN OUR BIO! As upland seasons across the country have closed or are beginning to wind down, it’s natural to reflect on the memories made with good friends, family, and of course, our favorite bird dogs. From their first bird to their final walk, the special moments we get to spend with our most loyal four-legged friends are the same moments we’ll cherish forever. Unfortunately, the same places where these memories are made are being threatened every day. In fact, within the span of a dog’s life - just ten short years - we’ve lost over 50 million acres of grassland habitat. We owe it to our loyal four-legged best friends to do better. And that’s why we’re inviting you to answer the call by adding “Bird Dog Life Member” to the list of your pup’s accomplishments. All Dog Life Member contributions will support our wildlife habitat conservation mission, because “good bird habitat is good bird dog habitat.”

There is still time to get your seeding in before the frost thaws. To learn more about the benefits of frost seeding to improve habitat, head to the link below. There are three primary seeding windows: - Spring - When most gardens and fields are planted (April to June). - Dormant - In the fall after soil temperatures drop below 50 degrees (November) so seed will not germinate but before freeze. - Frost - After the soil freezes and before the onset of spring (usually December to March). Frost seeding mimics the natural process. Every year, native grasses and wildflowers drop their seed onto the soil at the end of their growing season. When winter comes, the ground freezes, thaws and repeats. This cold and wet cycle, called cold-moist stratification, overcomes a seed’s natural inhibitions, weakens the seed coat and improves germination. Most seeds of native species have higher germination rates after cold-moist stratification.
It may start with the word "pheasant" but the 2020 Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic Feb. 14-16th at the Minneapolis Convention Center in downtown Minneapolis has plenty to appeal to die-hard quail hunters. That “Quail Classic" in the title is definitely not just for show. In fact, there’s a ton of quail-related, quail-centric, and quail-exclusive things to do, see, and watch at this year’s event. So if you’re more interested in staunch pointers and covey rises than labs and cackling roosters, head to the link in our bio to see just a few of the many quail-specific events, exhibitors, and activities. #Quailclassic #quailhunting #quail #bobwhitequail #uplandhunting
"Something in me changed in this season. Where I once craved only solitude, I now felt the tug to share a field, a walk, and a post-hunt beer and conversation with someone. I began to realize that as you get older, the passage of time inevitably takes people out of your life, and new friends are tough to make when you’re set in your ways. And it’s so easy to make excuses to not try, to retreat into the comfortable shell of the self." "But don’t succumb to the familiar and the comfortable. Fight it. The rewards of putting yourself out there and inviting someone on a hunt, to become a friend and perhaps a mentor to someone new, will be far greater than the perceived risk."

ON THE WING PODCAST EP. 199: SEVERE WINTER PUTTING A HURT ON PHEASANTS IN NORTHERN STATES, IS LIVE. LINK BELOW TO LISTEN NOW. https://quailforever.org/BlogLanding/Blogs/Quail-Forever/Podcast-Ep-199-Severe-Winter-Putting-a-Hurt-on-Pheasants-in-Northern-States.aspx Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by three Pheasants Forever biologists to discuss the impact this year’s severe winter weather has been having on pheasant populations across the country’s northern tier of states. Those three biologists include Private Lands Conservation Program Manager Rachel Bush from Bismarck, North Dakota; Minnesota State Coordinator Tanner Bruse from Marshall, Minnesota, and South Dakota and North Dakota State Coordinator Matt Morlock from Huron, South Dakota. Episode Highlights: - Bush explains the philosophy of “putting the kitchen next to the bedroom” when designing quality pheasant habitat to best survive severe winters. - Bruse breaks down the good and bad of seeing pheasants in open agricultural fields during the winter. Are they stressed and vulnerable or taking advantage of accessible food? Or both? - Morlock delivers a few zingers as he talks about cattails (nature’s hot dogs), hot lunch (corn kernels in steaming cow pies), and the OG’s of surviving winter (sharp-tail grouse).
