It all comes back to habitat. Learn more about why proactive habitat management is essential to effective wildlife management.

Today, Secretary @SecretaryBurgum issued a Secretarial Order to expand hunting and fishing access on lands and waters managed by the Department of the Interior (DOI). As part of the Order, Secretary Burgum affirmed the Department’s policy that public and federally managed lands should be open to hunting and fishing unless a specific, documented, and legally supported exception applies. Designating DOI managed lands as “open unless closed” will remove regulatory barriers and increase alignment with states, tribes, and territories, who have the primary authority for wildlife management.

Why small groups rule, hole-hopping strategies, and the DIY way to successfully closing out the South Dakota pheasant season. South Dakota’s public lands hold some of the wildest, most challenging roosters in the world. They're survivors that have weathered harsh winters, avoided predators and given other hunters the slip. And when you finally earn one of these birds, you'll understand the allure that only hunting public land birds can provide. So get out there, the SD season is still open through January 31st! Get the full scoop on the DIY approach to hunting SD at the link below. bit.ly/4aSzRhI Presented by @southdakota #pheasantsforever

Pheasant Hunting Forecast 2025: Some things change. Some things stay the same. When it comes to Pheasants Forever’s annual pheasant hunting forecast, the change always seems to focus on the weather and how it affected pheasants where we pheasant hunters like to hunt, or might want to go hunt. This year, a generally wet weather pattern seemed like it could have derailed pheasant nesting success and bird numbers in much of the core pheasant range. But it was “anything but” as you’ll see in the state-by-state rundowns. It looks like it is going to be a very good year for rooster hunting. Take a browse and start planning your hunts. Speaking of which, that’s something that always stays the same: Big bird numbers, small bird numbers … we hunt.

BREAKING NEWS! Pheasants Forever applauds the @USDA announcement today accepting nearly 1.8 million acres into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). “For four decades, CRP has delivered unmatched benefits for wildlife habitat, soil health and water quality,” said Andrew Schmidt, Pheasants Forever and @quail4ever director of government affairs. “Thanks to swift action by the Trump administration on a condensed timeline, the program now effectively stands at full enrollment, reflecting its value and standing among the nation's farmers and ranchers as a critical component of their business operation and the farm safety net.” This news will help bolster agriculture, wildlife habitat, hunting opportunities, and rural communities throughout the upland range and beyond.

Quail Forever Dedicates New Public Land in Missouri Quail Forever is proud to announce the dedication of two new public land areas in Missouri. The properties were acquired by Quail Forever through the Build a Wildlife Area® program and handed over to the @MDC_online for management. The two parcels total nearly 250 acres of new public access in northwest Missouri. The dedication took place on @nature_org expansive Dunn Ranch Prairie, which is intensively managed for intact tallgrass prairie, bobwhite quail, bison, prairie chickens and more. “The partnership between Quail Forever, the MDC and The Nature Conservancy is far reaching and impactful,” said Eric Sytsma. “We cannot do this alone. Anybody who spends ten minutes out here will understand why this is important and why we need to protect it. Being a part of the team that protects these landscapes is truly a privilege.” Both parcels are in MDC’s Grand River Grasslands Priority Geography, an area of core focus for bobwhite quail conservation. It also lies within a core Working Lands for Wildlife priority area. Less than one percent of Missouri’s original prairie remains, according to MDC. This makes parcels such as these vital to not only protect, but enhance. Read the full story here: bit.ly/3TLLiy4 #quailforever #thehabitatorganization
