Jared Wiklund with Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever

We know what you are thinking. What is a bird hunting group doing on a podcast about BIRDS?!?

Well, Nate and Evan sit down with Jared Wiklund, public relations specialist with Pheasants Forever to answer that question.

What is Pheasants forever? Some people may have the idea that it is just a bunch of rednecks with guns out shooting birds to the brink of extinction. This is far from the truth. Pheasants Forever's mission is to conserve pheasants, quail, and other wildlife through habitat improvements, public access, education, and conservation advocacy.

Jared talks about the mission of Pheasants Forever and how it impacts songbirds. Additionally he gives great insight into how biologists interact with local chapter to help landowners develop their land. We also talk about the process of land acquisition and turning it into public lands.

Habitat loss and destruction poses a major threat to the survival of species. As cities expand, farming gets bigger, the habitat birds, and all animals, calls home shrinks.

If you are opposed to hunting, please keep an open mind while listening today. Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever provide habitat for all birds that would otherwise not exist. 

Happy Listening and Happy Birding.
