    Why hasn’t the brood report been posted?

    Is there a reason we haven’t seen this yet? I wait till I see this to decide where to go. Usually it’s within days after the bird report. Are they not posting it this year?

    what are the best plants for upland birds

    We recently just found out we had land that our only purpose is to hunt. We want to make it more quail friendly since pheasants aren't really around where we live. I am wondering what are the best plants to use to make a more suitable habitat.
