What a ride this year has been. Thank you, Hawkeyes 💛🖤

All of us at Pheasants Forever wish you a Merry Christmas and a joyful holiday season!

Pheasant Fact Friday While pheasants are finding the winter cover they require, the outdoor temperatures have fallen below the bird's thermoneutral zone. They can no longer simply ruffle their feathers to stay warm....they have to start eating more food. Birds consume 33% more food in November than they did in October. This increased intake is used to both stay warm and produce body fat. These fat reserves will prove beneficial when the first blizzard arrives.

A great day in Iowa hunting pheasants on public ground. A special thank you to everyone who makes this happen and champions for the cause! @iowadnr @pheasants4ever @BobStPierre

Pheasant Fact Friday 💡 The major cause of pheasant winter mortality is not starvation. It is freezing. The pheasant's physiological processes can produce only so much heat. Whether a well-fed pheasant freezes at -20°F or 0°F is unknown, but -50°F would freeze any pheasant. So why don't all pheasants freeze each winter when our northern state routinely have below zero temperatures? The answer is, they would freeze if it were not for one factor — winter habitat. The insulating effect of habitat moderates windchills, thus providing a warmer and less energy-demanding microclimate for the birds. More winter habitat means more birds will survive until spring. #pheasantsforever #pheasants #pheasantfactfriday

Merry Christmas! 🎄

"Any ring-necked pheasant still running around in December and January has earned a graduate degree in eluding hunters and their dogs. Hardy and experienced winter roosters are scarce (hunted down), paranoid (hunted long) and elusive (hunted hard). October's easy pickings of young, innocent cocks are gone. Welcome to the cagiest, most nervous and neurotic game bird you will ever encounter. Get to work. Here's how to hunt late season’s PhD roosters."

I never take it for granted! Great job on creating hunting access on public grounds. Pheasants Forever & Iowa DNR are keys to maintaining long-term upland hunting opportunities. @pheasants4ever @iowadnr @BobStPierre

What a wonderful day celebrating the inductions of Tommy Grant, Taylor (Tepper) Vos, Zach Miller and Matt Schauss to the Bethel Athletics Al Beutler Hall of Fame! #AnchorUp #trueblue

Great day in NW Iowa hunting public ground! A big "Thank You" to all who make it happen. @iowadnr @pheasants4ever @BobStPierre

Last month, Pheasants Forever shared our ambitious vision to create more quality habitat and access in South Dakota - the organization's Public Access to Habitat (PATH) program was unveiled. After 45 days of open enrollment, we're proud to report the organization has officially enrolled 1,061 NEW ACRES into Walk-in Access, with another 1,000 acres in the works as our biologists finalize landowner agreements! Thank you to partners onX Hunt, Travel South Dakota, and South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks for helping make this program a major success in its early stages.
