Faith and family first. Mallards, roosters and yellow dogs all a close second.

@wagner_farms At NeSoDak this week with campers. Yesterday was a doozy with the rain and that wind…

Get ready for the “Fire Issue” of Quail Forever Journal!

In the upcoming issue, we explore the power of fire, from its historical role in shaping the land to the modern techniques used by biologists, landowners, and prescribed burn associations.

Whether you’re lighting your first burn or have been managing with fire for years, we hope this issue fuels your passion for habitat.

Stay tuned – the “Fire Issue” is landing in mailboxes soon!

Without looking at this list, I was hoping that @Beretta_USA A400 would be included. Not surprised to see it at the top. Great gun. Love my 20.

@CJDucks @mgbrasher @AnglinOutdoors Specks, cranes and even some snows tonight in SD. It's a great time of the year!

@gregseitz Just read that one myself. Great read. Got through it in 2 days.

@SDakotaOutdoors, might be time to hit the gravel for another survey.

[Pheasants Forever @pheasants4ever]

Roadside broods are starting to show up on the landscape! Are you seeing young birds in your area?

Unlike in Frost's poem Mending Wall, here there are cows. So fences do make good neighbors:

"So for all you aspiring outdoor scribes out there who want writing advice, well, here’s the deal: I can’t give you lessons on how to craft a story about the relative merits of the 12-gauge versus the 20 (the 16’s better than both, anyway), I can’t offer up a template on how to analyze and break down an area to efficiently and quickly find birds (Walk to where it looks birdy?), and I certainly have no guidance on building a list of the 10 Best anything (I’ve found that one or two will usually suffice for me).

But if I had one piece of advice to give those looking to write an upland story that comes from a place those other stories do not — a story that is evocation rather than explanation — I can only offer you this, and it’s more confessional observation than advice….." 🔗Link below.
