Hey guys. Hope all you Ringneck and Whistler members had a good weekend. This past week the PF/QF staff got together for 4 days for a team meeting, so we can continue to be the best team ever. While we were at the meeting we decided a good way for you to learn about our activities, look at pictures and chat with other members was to add a fan page to facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Upland-Tales/101680968938) and to start a twitter page (www.twitter.com/uplandtales). It would be great if you guys could check out the page and add some comments, photos and anything that deals with the outdoors.

Thanks. If you have any questions feel free to email me at abrentzel@pheasantsforever.org

Do your part in making this a great Memorial Day!

Hey guys I have a favor to ask of each and everyone of you. Memorial Day Weekend is coming up and fast. I know many of you are going to be going to lakes, to go camping, fishing, boating, and all that other fun stuff under the sun. So here is what I ask. When you are out and about, pick up the trash around, even if it isn’t yours. When your hiking and you see a pop bottle pick it up. Do your part to make the parks you are at beautiful for everyone else!!! Thank you so much!!

Have a fun and safe weekend. If you catch a monster fish, or find something cool send me a picture of it and I will post it on the site for everyone to see!!! Send your pictures to abrentzel@pheasantsforever.org.
