Federal Premium Supports Conservation Efforts as Presenting Sponsor for National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic 2015

Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever proudly announce Federal Premium Ammunition—a steadfast supporter of wildlife habitat conservation efforts —as the presenting sponsor for National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic 2015. The event will be held February 20-22, 2014, at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, Iowa.
 
“We are extremely proud to have a larger part in the nation’s largest and most exciting upland hunting and conservation event,” said Federal Premium Marketing Director Jason Nash. “Pheasants Forever is a great example of an organization adding acres of habitat and access for hunters to enjoy now and into the future.”
 
National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic 2015 presented by Federal Premium Ammunition will be the nation’s largest trade show and convention for upland hunters, farmers, sport dog owners, and wildlife habitat conservationists. The event will also highlight Pheasants Forever's accomplishments, including the host state of Iowa, home to 100 Pheasants Forever chapters and three Quail Forever chapters accounting for 18,624 members statewide who have spent over $45 million to complete 111,724 wildlife habitat projects.
 
Federal Premium® Ammunition, Pheasants Forever’s Official Ammunition Sponsor and longtime national sponsor, has produced more than 40 million shotgun shells in support of the nation’s leading upland habitat conservation organization. As part of the on-box royalty partnership forged between the two groups in 1998, a portion of the proceeds from each Pheasants Forever logoed box sold goes directly to the conservation group’s wildlife habitat efforts.
 
“Federal Premium is a true partner in conservation. They clearly understand the connection to our upland habitat conservation mission and their business’s success,” explained Joe Duggan, Pheasants Forever’s Vice President of Corporate Relations. “For more than three decades, Federal Premium has been investing in habitat and our hunting heritage’s future through Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. This year’s decision to become the presenting sponsor of Pheasant Fest illustrates Federal Premium’s commitment to bird hunters across the country yet again.”
