I just received a seed shipment from Pheasants Forever. I am pumped! We are attempting our first habitat improvement project. We don't have many birds in the area, and are hoping this helps out. Nebraska PF has a great website with an unbelievable seed catalog. It has tons of different mixes. Unfortunately for us, most of the mixes are for areas that actually get a decent amount of rain. Not the 15 inches of annual precip we're used to hear at the base of the rockies. So a biologist from PF put a custom mix together for us that is a combination of grasses, forbs, and legumes. He said it should do well in our area. We'll see.
We also ordered a few bags of PF's western food plot mix. It is formulated for drier climates and is what the biologists recommended. So, we'll see how it goes. Hopefully in a couple of years, we have beautiful nesting habitat. I can only hope the birds follow shortly after.
I am so jealous of you guys in the heart of pheasant and quail country. I would love to be able to complete these projects where I know birds are already sustaining a good population. A project like this would merely be icing on the cake.
