A first-of-its-kind “Grouse Camp” brings the prairies, forests, bird dogs, and upland community together under one roof. National Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic has long been the premier gathering for the upland community, but 2026 raises the bar. In this episode, we preview the debut of Grouse Camp, a brand-new, immersive experience built for serious upland hunters who care as much about habitat as they do about bird dogs and autumn covers. Whether you chase ruffed grouse in aspen cuts, prairie chickens on the plains, pheasants in the prairies, or quail in the piney woods, this conversation pulls the entire upland world together. Listen now: https://bit.ly/49kNeVC Organizations present at Grouse Camp will include North American Grouse Partnership, Ruffed Grouse Society & American Woodcock Society, Minnesota Sharp-Tailed Grouse Society, Minnesota Prairie Chicken Society, Wisconsin Sharp-tailed Grouse Society, and Prairie Chicken Project Wisconsin. “On the Wing Podcast” is proudly fueled by Purina Pro Plan

Quail Fact Friday! Among all North America’s quail, the scaled quail, often called “blue quail” or “cottontops,” consume more grass seed than any other species of quail. These hardy birds of the American Southwest rely on grass seeds year-round, alongside mesquite, ragweed, sunflower, seasonal greens, and insects. Their seed-heavy diet helps them thrive in arid grasslands. Quail Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots #quailforever #quailfactfriday
