THE LEGACY: GRANDPAS, GRANDSONS AND GOLDEN MEMORIES By Dr. James Johnson. "We had anxiously waited for October 24 as if it were Christmas Day and we were all eight years old. Finally, the day arrived. We met at a local diner for breakfast with George and the rest of the hunting party, about 16 in all.

NEXT GENERATION OF FOREVER: MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE LOCAL HABITAT AND COMMUNITY Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever chapter volunteers are the backbone of our organizations. They represent our boots on the ground, the pointy end of the spear, and provide the energy and passion that make our grassroots model and overall mission of upland habitat conservation thrive. That’s why we’re humbled and proud to share “The Next Generation of Forever.” Leading up to National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic in Minneapolis Feb. 17th-19th, we’ll be celebrating select up-and-coming young volunteers from throughout the country who truly represent the future of our organizations. They have not only taken the ceremonial torch, but reignited the flame and are sprinting forward with it. So please join us in honoring and acknowledging all those at the link below. https://quailforever.org/BlogLanding/Blogs/Quail-Forever/Next-Generation-of-Forever-Part-Two.aspx
