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.
