Host Bob St.Pierre talks with PF & QF’s Marissa Jensen and Andy Fondrick, along with volunteers Mike Gruenke and Jeff Ennis from Washington's Spokane Inland Empire Chapter of Pheasants Forever . They discuss winning last year's $7,500 Hands-On Habitat grand prize from onX Hunt and how it motivated their chapter to undertake an even larger habitat project in Washington’s scablands this spring.

Episode Highlights:

  • Gruenke shares how they attracted more volunteers by focusing on projects in which volunteers could participate in on-the-ground habitat work.
  • Jensen outlines the month-long Hands-On Habitat efforts and onX Hunt’s 2025 incentives for volunteer projects.
