Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are excited to introduce a new initiative focused on increased public access in The Cornhusker State. Supported by the Nebraska Environmental Trust, onX Hunt, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, and local chapters, the Nebraska Community Access Partnership (NCAP) has enrolled 44,000 in its inaugural year supporting quality wildlife habitat, rural economies, and an abundance of publicly accessible lands in western Nebraska. The NCAP program provides a financial incentive for ranchers, farmers and landowners to enroll high-quality CRP, rangeland and ungrazed grasslands voluntarily into a 5-year walk-in hunting agreement through the Nebraska Open Fields and Waters Program (OFW). Landowners willing to allow walk-in hunting access can receive a one-time sign-up incentive of $25 per acre for quality CRP or $10 per acre for working rangeland or grasslands. This is in addition to OFW annual payments which range from $.50/ac-$15/ac depending on habitat quality. Learn more about the NCAP program at the link below. https://pheasantsforever.org/ncap
With Ohio experiencing record drought, livestock producers may find themselves in a tight spot when trying to provide forage for their cattle. In the long run, native warm season grasses (NWSG) can offer drought resistant forage during the summer slump when many cool season grasses slow in production. With the right management practices, these plantings can provide highly productive, drought resistant forage that not only helps livestock producers, but enhances soil health. These plantings also create favorable conditions for wildlife such as bobwhite quail. Since they benefit both livestock and wildlife, there is landowner assistance through the USDA-NRCS programs to make creating such plantings more economical. Learn more about the benefits on native warm season grasses at the link in our bio. #quailforever #quail #wildlifehabitat #cattle

Quail Fact or Fiction Friday!💡 “Wild bobwhites are a lost cause.” Fiction! While managing for wild bobwhites can be difficult, bobwhite populations can be restored through proper habitat management. Properties that have adopted wildlife-friendly practices have seen improvements, including some that have doubled their populations in just a few years! For example, the annual fall covey count at a South Carolina WMA managed for quail documented an increase in bobwhite numbers over the last years eight years (South Carolina DNR). Research has shown that conversion of 5-10% of cropland to native grasses and forb field buffers can increase populations by 200% (Mississippi State Extension 2007). #quailforever #bobwhitequail #quail #quailfactfriday

The phrase “you get what you pay for” works two ways. The G-Force Arms GF5 Filthy Pheasant is not your grandpa’s heirloom side-by-side — but it doesn’t need to be. Retailing online at just a shade under $400, you could buy damn near seven Filthy Pheasants for the cost of an average high end double gun. And in the age of endless fancy upland garb, it’s downright refreshing to run across a shotgun that a teenage kid can save up for in one summer bagging groceries down at the local Piggly Wiggly. Read the full "G-FORCE ARMS FILTHY PHEASANT REVIEW" by PF & QF senior public relations specialist Casey Sill, at the link below. https://quailforever.org/BlogLanding/Blogs/Quail-Forever/G-Force-Arms-Filthy-Pheasant-Review.aspx
