Well, it is that time of year where we all gather together once again to celebrate conservation! I am looking forward to getting to know the new member’s of the Youth Council and expect we will have a great weekend. Thank you Council members for all of your hard work this year, and I will see you and your shenanigans in a few weeks. Safe travels to each of you and your families as you descend into Iowa! Evan be ready to ROCK THE MOCK!

See you there~Liz

Hey all, we’ve uploaded photos from the Youth Village at 2009 Pheasant Fest in Madison, WI. We had a blast and look forward to seeing everyone again next year in Des Moines!

WOW!  What a great group we have in you! Just wanted to thank each of you who were able to attend Pheasant Fest 2009 for all of you hard work and dedication.  From Marie making sure we were on track with IT to Brooks looking out for our moderators and Evan “Rockin’ the Mock”.

As for the great team of you who pitched in at Youth Village….You made it happen! Thanks gang… not only was it a pleasure to work with you but, I will laugh at the “Shenanigans” until we meet again next year.

So Im home and unpack from Pheasant Fest and I was wondering what everyone’s favorite thing or things were from the 2009 Pheasant Fest in Madison Wisconsin.  Do you have any suggestions for next years Pheasant Fest good or bad? I also want to thank everyone for ALL of their help at the youth village and all the other areas too!! Hope you see you all their next year too!!

Hey everyone, I just go back from Pheasant Fest ‘09 and had a complete blast, not to mention in a very beautiful city.  Between meeting the new members, getting reacquainted with the old ones, and trying to find Rich it was very crazy. Then throw in running booths, helping at the banquet, and making crafts and you have a completely chaotic weekend. If you weren’t there this year you really missed out. Everyone got signed up for a free ringnecks membership, there was crafts to do which changed to something new every couple hours, there was archery, fishing, a mock hunt, laser shooting, and an airgun. Rudy also decided to make his appearance. Hope you guys can make it to Pheasant Fest next year!
