| 6/24/26 | ![]() EP. 370: Pollinators, Quail, and Wild Foods from the Desert | As Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever celebrate Grasslands Week and Pollinator Week, this conversation explores the critical relationship between healthy habitat, thriving pollinator populations, and strong upland bird numbers. From pheasant chicks and bobwhite quail to Gambel's quail and prairie grouse, the insects supported by flowering plants provide the protein young birds need to survive and grow.Habitat Education Programs Manager Marissa Jensen joins former PF & QF’s Southwest Regional Representative Lauren Stamm to discuss why pollinator habitat and brood habitat are exactly one and the same. The conversation also heads into the desert, where Lauren shares her passion for hunting, foraging, and creating wild game meals inspired by the landscapes she hunts.Listeners will learn how prickly pear fruit supports desert wildlife, why Gambel's quail depend on these unique ecosystems, and how to turn wild-foraged prickly pear into a simple syrup that pairs perfectly with grilled quail. Along the way, the discussion explores conservation, public lands, raising the next generation of hunters, and the lessons children learn through time spent outdoors.Whether you're passionate about upland bird hunting, bird dogs, pollinators, habitat conservation, wild game cooking, or simply becoming a more connected outdoors enthusiast, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on the landscapes that sustain both wildlife and hunters.Follow the show for weekly conversations about hunting, conservation, bird dogs, and upland birds.Show notesHelp Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever make a positive impact for the birds, the bees, and people by becoming a PF member at www.PheasantsForever.org/join and/or a QF member at www.QuailForever.org/join.On the Wing Podcast is proudly fueled by Purina Pro Plan. | — | ||||||
| 6/17/26 | ![]() EP. 369: Biology of Nesting Season for Pheasants, Quail, and Prairie Grouse | It’s “Hatch Week” at Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, so it’s cause for celebration. In fact, peak hatch is happening now and understanding it can make you a better upland hunter. What actually happens during pheasant hatch, quail nesting season, and prairie grouse breeding? This conversation breaks down the biology behind the birds many upland hunters pursue each fall, and explains why nesting cover, brood habitat, and conservation work are so critical to future hunting opportunities.Listeners will learn how pheasant hens select nests, why renesting is common after a failed clutch, and what hens do after losing a brood of chicks. The discussion contrasts pheasants with bobwhite quail, which can produce multiple broods in a season, and explores the unique pair-bonding behavior of western quail species such as Gambel's, scaled, California, and mountain quail. The episode also dives into prairie grouse biology, including lekking behavior in greater prairie chickens, lesser prairie chickens, sharp-tailed grouse, and sage grouse. You'll hear why these traditional breeding grounds can persist for generations and why protecting them is a major conservation priority.Whether you're a pheasant hunter in the Midwest, a bobwhite quail enthusiast in the South, or planning a western quail or prairie grouse trip, this is a practical look at how habitat quality translates into bird numbers on the landscape.Follow the show for weekly conversations about hunting, conservation, bird dogs, and upland birds.Show notesCelebrate peak hatch by joining Pheasants Forever during “Hatch Week.” Thanks to a $10,000 Hatch Week matching gift, your membership can go even farther right now through June 20th, helping put habitat on the ground when it matters most.

| 2/11/26 | ![]() EP. 350: Quail Forever Joins SEWE to Celebrate Quail Culture in Charleston | Each February, Charleston, South Carolina becomes the center of Southern sporting culture, and this conversation explains why the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE) has earned that reputation. From quail hunting traditions to world-class sporting art and bird dogs on every corner, SEWE is where upland culture, quail habitat conservation, and delicious food collide. This year, SEWE takes place from February 13-15, 2026.Listeners will hear about the attractions within Quail Forever’s “Quail Classic” at SEWE’s Brittlebank Park, why downtown galleries matter just as much as gear booths, and how hunters, bird dog lovers, conservationists, and families all find their place across multiple venues taking over the entire city of Charleston.There’s a practical side as well. The conversation digs into QF’s quail habitat efforts and how organizations like Quail Forever connect landowners with biologists for real, on the ground results. You’ll learn why SEWE matters for the future of quail hunting in the Southeast, and how QF’s raffles, volunteers, and local chapters turn culture into conservation.Savory dishes round out the picture. Lowcountry boils, fresh oysters, shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, and whole hog barbecues are as much a part of the weekend as bird dogs and shotguns. And if you’ve ever wondered why Boykin Spaniels seem to outnumber people in Charleston during SEWE, there’s an answer for that too.This is an insider’s look at a weekend that blends hunting heritage, modern conservation, and Southern hospitality into something bigger than an event.Show notesRead QF Editor Ryan’s Sparks “The South’s Upland Showcase” about Quail Forever’s Quail Classic attractions at SEWE.Get your raffle tickets for a Polaris Ranger 570 with proceeds supporting Quail Forever’s wildlife habitat mission.Get your tickets for Quail Forever’s SEWE VIP Social hosted by SC Quail Forever at Groovers Listening Bar in Charleston on Saturday, February 15, 2026.Learn more about SEWE at www.SEWE.com.Special THANK YOU to Quail Forever’s SEWE partners atonX HuntBird BuggyAlabama Black Belt AdventuresPurina Pro PlanDiscover Thomasville GeorgiaSouthwind PlantationJohn Kohler AssociatesKolpin OutdoorsPolarisIrish SetterTurtleBoxOrvisUse the code PFQF at onxmaps.com/hunt/app for 20% off your onX Hunt membership to plan your next bird hunting adventure.On the Wing Podcast is proudly fueled by Purina Pro Plan. | — | ||||||
| 2/4/26 | ![]() EP. 349: Rooster Road Trip Recap is Bird Hunting Reality Check | When roosters vanish and quail cooperate, the road trip still teaches hard-earned upland lessons.Sixteen years into Rooster Road Trip, Kansas delivered a reminder every upland hunter eventually learns. You can do your homework, study maps, trust your instincts, and still come up empty on roosters. This recap pulls back the curtain on our late-season bird hunt where plans shifted, expectations were reset, and bobwhite coveys became the story worth telling.The conversation digs into the realities of public land bird hunting, from e-scouting WIHA parcels to boots-on-the-ground habitat evaluation that only happens after miles walked behind bird dogs. The crew reflects on adapting when pheasants refused to cooperate, what it means to “think like a covey,” and why flexibility often separates productive days from long ones in the uplands.Listeners will hear honest takes on late-season upland strategies, bird behavior in pressured landscapes, and the role habitat work plays in shaping bird numbers over time. There’s also a behind-the-scenes look at filming hunts when weather, gear failures, and limited camera operators force creative problem-solving in the field.Beyond the birds, the episode captures the camaraderie that keeps hunters coming back. Shared miles, small mishaps, hard laughs, and meaningful moments underscore why these trips matter. Success isn’t always measured in limits filled, but in lessons learned, dogs worked, and ground covered together.And, there’s a big announcement about the future of Rooster Road Trip at the end.Show notesCheck out all of our Rooster Road Trip content at www.RoosterRoadTrip.org.Participate in our first-ever Rooster Road Trip Raffle for your chance to take home the gear utilized by this year’s hunters.Use the code EARLYBIRD at www.SoundGear.com before February 19th for 30% off a SoundGear Phantom order.Use the code PFQF at onxmaps.com/hunt/app for 20% off your onX Hunt membership to plan your next bird hunting adventure.On the Wing Podcast is proudly fueled by Purina Pro Plan. | — | ||||||
| 1/28/26 | ![]() EP. 348: Rooster Road Trip Finishes with Hot Quail Action | Kansas has a reputation in upland circles, and for good reason. Wide-open spaces, rolling grasslands, and the promise of bobwhite coveys and cackling roosters tucked into classic bird country. On this year’s Rooster Road Trip, that promise got tested repeatedly.Mika Rezac, PF & QF’s regional representative from Kansas, joins the crew with her pack of outstanding Labs and English setter. In fact, she brings her secret weapon along, Spade the “LabraDwarf.” Through hearty laughter, Rezac talks about the state’s bird populations, upcoming conservation legislation, and how she helps PF & QF chapter volunteers maximize their relevancy. From woody encroachment and grassland loss, our final day’s hunt turns into a boots-on-the-ground lesson in why wild bird populations are in need of the upland community’s help.This episode digs into what Kansas’ upland country really looks like in 2025, how management decisions ripple across landscapes, and why hunters have a responsibility to understand habitat—not just hunt it. This year’s Rooster Road Trip didn’t go as planned, but it delivered exactly what it was supposed to: perspective.Show notesCheck out all of our Rooster Road Trip content at www.RoosterRoadTrip.org.Participate in our first-ever Rooster Road Trip Raffle for your chance to take home the gear utilized by this year’s hunters.Follow @spade_the_labradwarf on Instagram.Use the code PFQF at onxmaps.com/hunt/app for 20% off your onX Hunt membership to plan your next bird hunting adventure.On the Wing Podcast is proudly fueled by Purina Pro Plan. | — | ||||||
| 1/21/26 | ![]() EP. 347: Rooster Road Trip Connects Hunting, Habitat, and Public Access | Rooster Road Trip continues with a stop at one of our Build a Wildlife Area projects where we opened up a land-locked parcel to create more than 1,000 acres of public access. Kansas doesn’t always get the credit it deserves for quail, but when habitat is high-quality and access is open, it can flat-out deliver. In this episode, the Rooster Road Trip crew rolls into northeast Kansas to dig into what makes public ground actually work for bird hunters.Joined by Marcus Sanders, PF & QF Farm Bill Biologist out of Manhattan, Kansas, the conversation goes well beyond limits and bird counts. The guys talk prescribed fire, habitat restoration, and why programs like PF & QF’s Build a Wildlife Area are some of the most important tools hunters have to protect access long-term. There’s plenty of hunting talk mixed in with conversations about dog work, honest misses, and the kind of laughs that only come from road-tripping.From walking the Blue Valley Wildlife Area to breaking down how private land conservation dollars turn into public hunting opportunity, this episode connects the dots between boots on the ground and policy that actually benefits wildlife. If you care about quail, public access, and keeping places to hunt for the next generation, this one hits home.Show notesCheck out all of our Rooster Road Trip content at www.RoosterRoadTrip.org.Participate in our first-ever Rooster Road Trip Raffle for your chance to take home the gear utilized by this year’s hunters.Find a PF or QF biologist in your area for expert advice about conservation programs to improve your land for pheasants and quail.Use the code PFQF at onxmaps.com/hunt/app for 20% off your onX Hunt membership to plan your next bird hunting adventure.On the Wing Podcast is proudly fueled by Purina Pro Plan. | — | ||||||
| 1/14/26 | ![]() EP. 346: Rooster Road Trip Rolls Through Kansas WIHA | Some days test your legs, dogs, patience, and purpose, but they also teach the deepest lessons.Rooster Road Trip rolls through Kansas with a hard-earned reminder: not every day in bird country goes as planned. In this episode, the crew dives into the realities of public land pheasant and quail hunting, long miles, tough habitat conditions, and the discipline required to keep scouting when the habitat isn’t there and the birds aren’t cooperating.From navigating Kansas WIHA parcels to reading drought-stressed grasslands, listeners will hear practical lessons on evaluating upland habitat, knowing when to walk away, and why time behind the windshield can matter more than time behind the shotgun. The conversation blends boots-on-the-ground hunting strategy with honest reflections on habitat variability and the difference good grass makes for bobwhite quail and ringneck pheasants.The episode also explores the emotional side of bird hunting: honoring great bird dogs, appreciating fleeting moments on point, and understanding how conservation work—like fighting cedar encroachment and restoring grasslands—directly impacts the hunts we care about. You’ll come away with sharper public land scouting instincts, a deeper respect for habitat management, and renewed motivation to keep chasing wild birds even on the grind-it-out days.This is an insider look at upland hunting as it really happens, equal parts frustration, persistence, conservation, and reward.Show notesCheck out all of our Rooster Road Trip content at www.RoosterRoadTrip.org.Check out our first-ever Rooster Road Trip Raffle for your chance to take home the gear utilized by this year’s hunters.
