Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are excited to announce that
Irish Setter Boots™ has renewed its partnership for the 4th year in a row as the “Official Upland Hunting Boot” of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. The relationship reaffirms the brand’s commitment to wildlife habitat conservation and accessible public lands.
“We know outdoor enthusiasts value the incredible habitat conservation work that Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever performs across the country every year,” said Maurice McClurg, Irish Setter Marketing Manager. “We’re proud to support an organization that preserves habitat and creates access to land where we all can lace up our boots for memorable experiences.”
“The partnership with Irish Setter is one of those perfect scenarios when a product our members and employees love to wear in the field is also a company that helps us create more habitat in those fields,” said Chris Kalis, director of corporate partnerships for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. “We’re thrilled to have Irish Setter on board for another year of important conservation work together.”
Pheasant and quail hunters in the United States and Canada have relied on Irish Setter Wingshooter hunting boots since 1950. Designed and crafted for the most demanding upland hunters, Wingshooter boots are an American classic. They feature full-grain, waterproof leather combined with the UltraDry™ waterproofing system and a cushioned, debris-shedding wedge sole that lets hunters go all day, mile after mile.
In addition to marketing opportunities in
Pheasants Forever Journal,
Quail Forever Journal, and the organization’s online media channels, Irish Setter’s partnership with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever also includes:
