On the Wing is your destination for conversations about upland bird hunting, wildlife habitat, public lands, bird dogs, wild game cooking and epic adventures in search of pheasants, quail and grouse. These are the stories of Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever’s 145,000 members, volunteers, team of professional wildlife biologists and experts in the field. Our shows are recorded in person and often on the road from the end of tailgates, backs of horse trailers and after a day in the field chasing birds.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T22:20:37.046162+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/on-the-wing-podcast-1052918"},"episode":{"title":"EP. 348: Rooster Road Trip Finishes with Hot Quail Action","slug":"ep-348-rooster-road-trip-finishes-with-hot-quail-action","published_at":"2026-01-28T21:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/on-the-wing-podcast-1052918/ep-348-rooster-road-trip-finishes-with-hot-quail-action","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/on-the-wing-podcast-1052918","url":"https://www.pheasantsforever.org","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/4eca057d-76e9-4252-889e-1d2477c08e0d.mp3","summary":"Kansas has a reputation in upland circles, and for good reason. Wide-open spaces, rolling grasslands, and the promise of bobwhite coveys and cackling roosters tucked into classic bird country. On this year’s Rooster Road Trip, that promise got tested repeatedly. Mika Rezac, PF & QF’s regional representative from Kansas, joins the crew with her pack of outstanding Labs and English setter. In fact, she brings her secret weapon along, Spade the “LabraDwarf.” Through hearty laughter, Rezac talks about the state’s bird populations, upcoming conservation legislation, and how she helps PF & QF chapter volunteers maximize their relevancy. From woody encroachment and grassland loss, our final day’s hunt turns into a boots-on-the-ground lesson in why wild bird populations are in need of the upland community’s help. This episode digs into what Kansas’ upland country really looks like in 2025, how management decisions ripple across landscapes, and why hunters have a responsibility to understand habitat—not just hunt it. This year’s Rooster Road Trip didn’t go as planned, but it delivered exactly what it was supposed to: perspective.
