Sipping Bird Dog Whiskey Supports Wildlife Habitat
Pheasants Forever 09.10.14
Pheasants Forever is proud to announce Bird Dog Whiskey has renewed its national sponsorship of the conservation organization. As part of the partnership, all Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever chapters nationwide will receive a Bird Dog Whiskey conservation gift box to help their local fundraising banquets increase the impact of upland habitat conservation.
Pheasants Forever, along with its quail division, Quail Forever, are the only national conservation organizations structured to empower local chapters with control of all the funds they raise at their local fundraising banquets. These conservation gift boxes provided by Bird Dog Whiskey will help chapters raise additional funds at their events, which will then be spent on local conservation efforts by the chapters.
“Western Spirits is a corporate partner that understands the connection between our members’ passion for bird dogs, bird hunting and our conservation mission,” said Brad Heidel, Pheasants Forever’s director of corporate sales, “Chapters across pheasant and quail country can make a toast with Bird Dog Whiskey knowing what’s in their glass will bring great satisfaction and also help us create wildlife habitat.”
“Bird Dog Whiskey is a proud partner in conservation with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. We look forward to continuing our partnership in the spirit of wildlife habitat conservation for many years to come,” reported Klay Kelley, Western Spirits’ vice president of brand development.

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. There are five major factors leading to the losses of quail habitat; intensified farming and forestry practices, succession of grassland ecosystems to forests, overwhelming presence of exotic grasses like fescue that choke out wildlife, and urban sprawl.
