Show Notes
Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by PF & QF’s Nebraska Senior State Coordinator Kelsi Wehrman, Iowa State Coordinator Josh Divan, Missouri State Coordinator Andrew White, and Oklahoma & Kansas Regional Representative Laura McIver for a conversation about the upcoming pheasant and quail hunting seasons across the Great Plains. Each participant discusses weather, upland habitat, public lands, and hunting tactics in their respective state.
Episode Highlights:
· Wehrman and McIver talk about Nebraska and Kansas emerging from an extended drought to create optimism for the hunting season ahead and a potential big rebound for next season.
· Divan’s Iowa report echoes Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota’s glowing recap heard during the last episode focused upon this spring and summer’s weather for “nearly perfect” nesting conditions for upland birds.
· Wehrman and White both share first-time observations of quail “mega-broods” in Nebraska and Missouri this year.
· Each participant provides a closing tip to help put an extra bird in your vest.
