Update: 2025-08-06
Description
Host Bob St.Pierre talks with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever leaders Al Eiden, Ron Leathers, and Andrew Vavra about habitat improvement efforts in eleven western states. They also discuss hunting opportunities for 26 upland bird species found in these regions.
Episode Highlights:
• Eiden and Leathers discuss PF & QF’s habitat work along the Bear River, which spans Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho and is the Great Salt Lake's largest tributary. These habitat efforts benefit upland birds and improve the Great Salt Lake’s water quality and quantity.

• Throughout the conversation covering eleven Western states, the guys talk about hunting terrain and tactics for chukar, valley quail, blue grouse, Mearns’ quail, Gambel’s quail, and a variety of other species with a focus on Midwestern bird hunters with wanderlust to explore the West.
