Party in the Food Plot Photo Contest

By Aaron Kuehl, Director of Seed Operations at Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever

A flushing quail. Sunset over prime upland habitat. Hunter and dog on-the-move … or holding a trophy bird.

Those are just a few of the kinds of images we’re looking for in our “Party in the Food Plot!” Wildlife Food Plot Photo Contest. It’s a chance to capture your habitat passion and share it with other Quail Forever members. QF staff will select 10 winners and each will receive their choice of one bag of any of our Signature Series Food Plot mixes. 

Winning photos will also be published on Quail Forever website, with select images making it into a future issue of this Journal as well.

Photo Suggestions

We’re searching for more than just a standard photo of your typical food plot. Consider the following ideas, and come up with your own. As long as it’s in, around or related to a food plot, it’s game. Get creative!
  • Add a PF or QF habitat sign to your project. 
  • Consider hunting structures, habitat equipment, seed bags and other tools.
  • Make it an action shot – site prep, seeding, weed control and hunting are good ideas.
  • Add a smile to the picture… dogs and/people are always good subjects.
  • Hungry wildlife will get special attention from the judges (and not just gamebirds).
  • Think about point of view… close ups, creative angles and filters
We hope you are as excited to show us your habitat story as we are to see it. This also may be an opportunity for you to engage a future hunter or just someone interested in the outdoors or photography, and share your habitat with someone new.
