Friday Mixed Bag
Keep your eyes peeled for license plates sporting the trademark “Pheasants Forever” rooster on two tracks and highways in Montana and beyond. Proceeds from sales of the new Pheasants Forever Montana license plates go directly to Pheasants Forever’s wildlife habitat efforts in the state. Find more at http://www.doj.mt.gov/driving/platedesign/wildlife.asp.
Speaking of Montana, the state has proposed the regulation of only non-toxic shot for all game bird hunting on all Wildlife Management Area’s in the state for the 2010-2011 hunting season. http://fwp.mt.gov/hunting/opportunityForPublicComment/uplandGameBird.html
Read an entertaining “Uplander Profile” of Bob St.Pierre, Pheasants Forever’s Director of Marketing & PR and a fellow Pheasant Blogger, over at the Prairie State Outdoors Website. Kim Price, Pheasants Forever board member, was profiled earlier this year. http://www.prairiestateoutdoors.com/index.php?/cockleburs/
Finally, it was announced last evening at SHOT Show in Las Vegas that Jim Range was the posthumous recipient of the Budweiser Conservation Award. The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership co-founder and former chairman was selected 2010 recipient by public vote. Deserving award for a preeminent American sportsman-conservationist.
Keeps your vehicle and Montana habitat looking good.

If you want to see another nice license plate go to: http://www.northeastpf.com we designed it and sell them as a fund raiser for our state counsil..
Bob Rittenhouse, one of my favorite PF members east of the Mississippi. Heck, anywhere for that matter. Thanks for posting that info!
Will, it’s great to see you have an interest in conservation and pheasant hunting! Perhaps some day you may even work for a wildlife habitat conservation organization like Pheasants Forever. The career path you are mapping could also open you up to working for state natural resource agencies or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Many guides and outfitters, as well as dog trainers, benefit from having a good understanding of upland birds and their habitat. Whereabouts do you live? My best advice would be to find a local Pheasants Forever chapter or conservation group in your area to connect with.
