“As an avid outdoorsman, I’m excited to help launch the Refresh & Conserve program and contribute to one of my favorite hobbies, pheasant hunting,” said Michael Shinstine, Pepsi-Cola of Mitchell. “I know pheasant hunting plays an important role in the South Dakota economy. I look forward to working with our local communities and giving back to a cause that I am so passionate about.”

Pheasants Forever launched Quail Forever in August of 2005 to address the continuing loss of habitat suitable for quail and the subsequent quail population decline. Bobwhite population losses over the last 25 years range from 60 to 90 percent across the country. The reason for the quail population plunge is simple - massive losses of habitat suitable for quail.
