'TRAP DOCTOR' PRESENTING AT NATIONAL PHEASANT FEST & QUAIL CLASSIC. A DISCUSSION OF BIRD DOGS, TRAPPING, AND PUBLIC LANDS COEXISTENCE. Link below. https://quailforever.org/BlogLanding/Blogs/Quail-Forever/Trap-Doctor-Presenting-at-National-Pheasant-Fest-amp;-Quail-Classic.aspx “The right to be in the field and use our public lands is synonymous whether you’re a bird hunter, trapper, or both,” explained Snetsigner. “I look forward to exploring this connection at National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic while providing detailed information on the tools and knowledge needed to safely remove bird dogs from accidental trap encounters afield.” To learn more about trapping, the types of traps you may encounter afield with your bird dog, and the knowledge to overcome specific situations, visit with Jerry “The Trap Doctor” Snetsinger at National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic. Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever members represent a wide variety of outdoor pursuits, including trapping. We often get the question, “Do Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever promote trapping as an organization?” No, we’re a wildlife habitat conservation group first and foremost. Carrying capacity for pheasants, quail, and other wildlife is determined by the quantity and quality of natural resources available, which is why we focus exclusively on conserving/expanding grassland habitats. Are Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever anti-trapping? Absolutely not! But, at the end of the day, we’re experts in the field of grasslands conservation, which is where our focus lies.

HUNTING’S SENSORY DELIGHTS. CONNECTING WITH YOUR BIRD DOG IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN BIRDS IN THE GAMEBAG. Link below to read more. Presented by NAVHDA International From the time they are puppies, our bird dogs and their world offer us sensory input that ripens and feeds our souls. For many bird hunters, the ashy metallic gunpowder smell from a spent shell is better than a whiff of new car upholstery or spring lilacs. Imagine worn leather – the memory-infused, pliable smoothness of a favorite pair of gloves. Or the heart-stopping thunder of a northwoods grouse dog tearing through thick brush sounding exactly like a bird flushing. The sensory impressions that strike us most differ from hunter to hunter. Moving from my mind’s picks – the silky warmth of a puppy belly, the audible zing of a woodcock’s ascent, the breathy steam from my dog’s nose on a frosty morning – I asked some NAVHDA hunters what particular sights, smells, or sounds come to mind that are special to them.
