ON THE WING PODCAST EP. 200: The Season’s Final Pheasant Hunt with Keng Yang (@kengyang1), is Live! Link in our bio to listen now! Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by PF & QF’s Public Relations Manager Jared Wiklund for a fun and wide-ranging conversation with Keng Yang. The guys start by recapping the trio’s snowy pheasant hunt to close out the Minnesota season, then talk about Yang’s journey from anti-hunter to hardcore, every-single-free-day pheasant hunter. Episode Highlights: • St.Pierre explains how the group navigated snow drifts up to their nipples to find pheasant hunting success in the Minnesota cattails on the closing days of the state’s pheasant hunting season. • Yang talks about how the addition of a German wirehaired pointer changed his perspective from anti-hunter to a person who loves hunting, and is adamant about giving back to wildlife habitat conservation as a volunteer for Pheasants Forever and a variety of other conservation groups. Keng Yang will be speaking on the Public Lands Stage at National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic 2023 in Minneapolis on February 17-19. 📸: @mattaddington #pheasantsforever #pheasanthunting #uplandhunting #outdoorpodcast

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
