Father’s Day for the Pheasant Hunter

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

This special Pheasants Forever membership offer is available till close of business on Friday, June 10th

In case you don’t have it marked down on your calendar already, Sunday, June 19th is Father’s Day.  For most of us, it was dad who brought us into the pheasant hunting fold.  What better way to honor pops than with a new pheasant oriented gift.  Here are a few ideas:

Special Pheasants Forever Membership Package ($35.00): Through this special offer (deadline is June 10th), you can purchase a year’s membership to Pheasants Forever for your dad.  That membership will be accompanied by a year’s subscription to the Pheasants Forever Journal; including the new 2011 Pheasant Hunting Preview issue, a PF vehicle decal and a Pheasants Forever Running Rooster T-ShirtNOTE: if your dad already has a current PF membership, this offer simply adds a full year on to his current membership’s expiration date.

Browning Polo Shirt ($42.95): You know he’d rather be bird hunting than golfing, but what’s a guy to do in July?  This 100% polyester polo is the perfect pheasant hunter’s golf shirt. 

Gamehide SST Hunting Shirt ($29.95): We’re closing out this shirt and it’s marked down 17%.  That’s a steal for this high quality and comfortable shooting shirt that will become a part of your dad’s autumn wardrobe for the next decade.

 

 

Pheasants Forever Pewter Belt Buckle ($14.95): Does your dad wear cowboy boots all summer long?  Then he probably needs a PF belt buckle to match those kicks.

Hoppe’s Shotgun Boresnake ($16.99): In my humble opinion, the boresnake is the greatest gun cleaning invention ever made.  Your dad will be able to keep his treasured scattergun in tip top shape in less than 60 seconds with the boresnake. 


Video Glasses
($149.95): Has your dad ever tried to explain the amazing shot he made on the other side of the hill?  Now he can!  I was pretty skeptical about these glasses when I first got a look at them.  However, as you can see by the quality of this video, they produce pretty darn good footage. 

Game Cleaning Table ($89.99): While Gander Mountain markets this as a fish cleaning table, it easily doubles as a bird cleaning station.  Save your dad’s aching back and sore knees while keeping all the dead game out of your mom’s kitchen.  Yeah, you should probably buy one for yourself too!

A Sand County Almanac Illustrated Edition ($29.95): Most consider Aldo Leopold to be the father of modern wildlife management.  This is his signature work and the foundation for Pheasants Forever’s habitat mission.

Lucky Hunting Hat ($16.95): Does your dad lament missed shots around the Thanksgiving dinner table?  Give the guy a hand with this bit of PF gear “guaranteed” to turn his shooting luck around!

Pheasants Forever Beer Mugs ($22.95): This set of 4 mugs is a must have for any pheasant hunter’s bar or rec room.  Just in time for holding cold beverages during the hot summer months.

Note: all orders through the Pheasants Forever MarketPlace need to be made by end of business on Friday, June 10th to guarantee delivery by Father’s Day on Sunday, June 19th.

Pheasant Hunting, Guns and Dogs Galore — The Fall Pheasants Forever Journal is on the Way!

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Put yourself in this photo! This is the cover for the upcoming Fall Issue of PF Journal, which mails August 20. (photo by Montana's Denver Bryan)

The time of year we have all waited for is just around the corner – pheasant hunting season — and we have its adventurous spirit captured for you in the Fall issue of PF Journal.

Here’s a preview:

Camera sharp-shooter Denver Bryan has a crack pheasant hunting photo essay on tap – with a different look. Denver also has the cover photo this issue – one happy looking yellow Lab next to two fat roosters!

Next up is Tom Davis’ Gun Dog column on point honoring. I love this line in the story: “You want that dog to react the same way you would if you found Brigitte Bardot in your bed.”

Then there’s my feature on North Dakota’s Southwestern Chapter. Located just south of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, this chapter knows how to create habitat, produce roosters and put them in the game bag. It was a rollicking good hunt put on by some fun guys.

Dave Books looks back on some of his most memorable pheasant hunts in Longspur’s Lair; Don Thomas weaves an engaging story about hard work and one bird hunts; then Davis winds things up with Memory Marks: The pheasants of my mind, and the dogs that put them there.

To help choose that new shotgun, we have our 6th Annual Pheasants Forever Shotgun Review featuring 16 shotguns, photos, details, prices and comments from our shooters who put them through the ropes in Omaha, Nebraska earlier this summer. There’s also a piece on new pheasant ammo and reloading, which I hope you’ll find useful and interesting.

Of course, we also have our usual compliment of conservation articles, doings at Pheasants Forever national, our great catalog section of merchandise and all those pheasant lodges and more in our Goods & Services section.

It’s an issue I’m very proud to have my name on the masthead.
