Show Notes
Ron Leathers is the Chief Conservation Officer at Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever. On this episode, we discuss in depth pheasant biology with Ron from mating season to laying eggs, when pheasants will re-nest, and when they won’t. We talk about the average life span of a pheasant, the percentage of chicks that hatch, and the ones that don’t. Ron explains why the number one predator during the nesting season is a farm mower, when temperatures and rain can kill chicks. We talk about pheasant food, evading predators, expanding pheasant range, why planting pheasants does not work, creating the right habitat, dirty food plots, and a whole lot more. Plus, we answer listener questions about your favorite upland birds. @pheasants_forever & @quail_forever
