You all know how much I love bird dogs, and let’s be honest—pheasants have been hogging the limelight for way too long. Well, not this time.

Quail Forever is turning 20, and onX Hunt is throwing down a party that finally gives the little birds their due. It’s called Reign of the Quail, and if you’re at Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic, this is where you need to be. Friday night, March 7th, 9 PM, Kansas City Convention Center—Hall 1501.

Now, this isn’t just some casual get-together—we’re talking about a full-blown upland hunter’s party. Live music from Big Time Grain Co., free beer courtesy of Leinenkugel’s, and the kind of crowd that knows how to have a good time. If you’ve spent all day talking about bird dogs, habitat, and gear, this is your chance to kick back, crack a cold one, and celebrate 20 years of Quail Forever.

And here’s the deal—this party is open to ALL Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic attendees. No tickets, no cover charge, just show up and get ready for a damn good time.

So, if you love bird dogs, if you love quail, and if you love free beer—you know where to find me. Reign of the Quail, Friday night at 9. Don’t miss it

A note from my 10 tips for new dog owners (grab it by signing up for the weekly HDP newsletters - link in bio) When you're picking your pup think about

Travel Capacity: Establish a range of how far you are willing to travel to look at breeders. 200 mile radius 500? In person trips to visit the breeder and possibly to look at the pups are sometimes necessary

Get a Vet:Have a veterinarian picked out ahead of time and get lined up for check up once your home with the pup

Who’s in charge? Have a plan for who's in charge of those first few months at home. Feeding, Walks, Playtime etc
