Saint Paul, Minn. – January 24, 2012 – Pheasants Forever is proud to announce Bird Dog Whiskey and Whitetail Whiskey as its newest national sponsor. All Pheasants Forever chapters nationwide will receive Bird Dog Whiskey and Whitetail Whiskey conservation gift boxes this year to help their local fundraising banquets increase the impact of upland habitat conservation.

Pheasants Forever is the only national conservation organization structured so that its local chapters control all the funds they raise at their local fundraising banquets. The conservation gift boxes provided by Bird Dog Whiskey and Whitetail Whiskey to each local Pheasants Forever chapter will help chapters raise additional funds at their events, funds that will be best spent on local conservation efforts as the chapters see fit.

“Bird Dog Whiskey and Whitetail Whiskey have a history of supporting conservation, and we’re proud they’re lending that support to Pheasants Forever’s upland conservation work, both on the national and local level,” said Brad Heidel, Pheasants Forever’s Director of Corporate and Special Event Sales, “Enjoying bird dogs in the field, and now after, has a ring that our members will enjoy.”

“Bird Dog Whiskey and Whitetail Whiskey are proud to become a partner in conservation with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever," says Bill Murphree, Vice President of Development at Western Spirits Beverage Company, maker of Bird Dog Whiskey and Whitetail Whiskey, "Assisting Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever is an ideal opportunity for us to participate in true conservation efforts that will greatly enhance the quality of our shared future.”

The distinctive taste of Bird Dog BlackBerry-Flavored Whiskey and Whitetail Whiskey, both of which were nationally recognized with Gold Medals during the 2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, will be featured during a taste-testing at Pheasants Forever’s upcoming National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic 2012. The nation's biggest event for pheasant and quail hunters and bird dog enthusiasts, National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic will be held February 17, 18 & 19, 2012, at the Kansas City Convention Center in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The taste-testing will be at National Pheasant Fest banquet on Saturday night.
