Pheasant Fact Friday!

Ancient Chinese, Greek and Roman paintings, tapestries and literature record the importance of pheasants to their societies. The original home of all modern species is in Asia and Asia Minor. All true pheasants belong to two species, with over 30 subspecies within those two groups. When they can reach each other, all species and subspecies interbreed freely, and produce fertile chicks. So our ringneck is a compilation of many subspecies. The main contributors have been the Chinese, Kirghiz, Caucasian and two Japanese subspecies.

Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever Applaud Bipartisan RANCH Act to Expand Grazing Lands and Wildlife Habitat

Yesterday, Senators Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, introduced the Rebuilding America's National Cow Herd (RANCH) Act, legislation that would help producers convert marginal cropland to perennial cover for managed grazing. With America's beef cow herd at its smallest size in 70 years and grasslands disappearing at a rapid pace, the RANCH Act would support livestock production by increasing access to grazing lands, allowing existing operations to expand and providing opportunities for young and beginning producers, while also creating additional habitat for wildlife.

It is time. Prairie grouse seasons loom. Reports are a mixed bag. Birds will fly.

Our native prairie grouse – sharp-tailed grouse, prairie chickens and sage grouse – are magnificent creatures, at once delicate and tough.

Delicate because they require habitat specific to their needs.

Tough because they can survive most-all of what nature can throw at them – from arctic cold to desert-like heat, horrible blizzards to rainy springs, powerful summer thunderstorms to freight-train winds, and you can throw drought in there for good measure. They evolved here.

You will find habitat as a recurring theme in PF & QF'S 2026 Prairie Grouse Primer. Weather has its effect. But good habitat solves many ills. The reports are all over the board, which means you pretty much just have to go hunt. Do it.

Pheasant Fact Friday!

Through July roosters were dropping feathers and re-growing a complete new set. In August, hens are doing the same thing. So why don't you see feathers laying on the ground, everywhere? Birds and mice! The small body feathers are easily swallowed by pheasants, and the larger feathers are eaten by rodents. Feathers are also used by other birds and rodents in building their summer nests.

For anyone who has ever watched a bird dog lock onto a point or shared quiet miles across public land, this conversation hits close to home. Singer-songwriter Reese Glover Music returns to talk about the official release of “Ballad of the Bird Dog,” a song introduced to the bird hunting community during an episode last year.

Reese shares how the song evolved from a simple live recording into a professionally produced studio release while staying true to its stripped-down, storytelling roots. Along the way, he dives into the songwriting process, finding inspiration in pheasant hunting, grouse hunting, and life with his German shorthaired pointer, Bridger. The conversation explores why bird dogs inspire great music, how hunting traditions shape creative work, and why the connection between hunters and their dogs continues to unite the upland community.

You'll also hear some fun pointer vs. flusher banter . . . Listen now at the link in the comments or wherever you get your podcasts.

2026 Shotgun Showcase: Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon III

The newest iteration of the classic Silver Pigeon line, the BERETTA 687 Silver Pigeon III is an attractive over-under. Built on the well-known 680-series receiver platform, the 687 Silver Pigeon III has a sleek and low profile, and is built on a true sub-gauge frame.

The Silver Pigeon III is a soft-shooting shotgun that will be comfortable for extended carry in the field… and also just plain fun for clay targets. It would be an excellent choice for those looking to venture into the world of .410s.

Watch the full review now at the link in the comments.

What stands as an HR violation with your dogs?
