The McHenry County Pheasants Forever Chapter was established in 1984 under the leadership of Bob Veuglur and others. At that time there were 90 members. In 1985 the membership grew to 130 members. There are currently 600 Pheasant Forever, Ringneck, and life members, and an average of 200 banquet attendees.

Habitat and food plot projects include areas in McHenry, Kane, DuPage, and Lake Counties. We also support projects in southern Wisconsin, and North Dakota. The McHenry County Chapter has planted over 2,000 acres of warm season grasses, cool season grasses, and winter survival food plot mixes. The chapter is also the proud owner of two specialty prairie seed planters. These planters are used on Pheasants Forever projects and utilized by the Illinois DNR for improving CRP habitat. They are also used to maintain wildlife habitat on private land and state sites.

Our Chapter gives financial support to the Pheasants Forever Legislative fund. This fund makes it possible for representatives of Pheasants Forever to work with U.S. representatives and other government agencies on habitat issues. These issues include CRP funding, expanding public hunting opportunities such as the "open fields" initiatives, outdoor youth programs and more.

We also support events and outdoor opportunities for youth. These include: *hunter safety courses *habitat lectures *Aldo Leopold Conservation Classes *target shooting *guiding youth hunts *hunting opportunities.

Please come and support the McHenry County Pheasants Forever banquet. Your support will keep our projects and youth activites growing and you will have a fun evening.

Forever banquet!
