I drew that hunt a couple of years ago. Its a rough walk. Lots of plum thickets. I believe we found 2 coveys. Its not really a good spot for pheasants.

Hunted graham county. Saw one rooster zero hens. 9 quail in the bag between 3 hunters.

Tank is doing great! He's turned out to be a real good bird dog and one heck of a retriever. Couldnt ask for much more. We are itchin to get out for the opener. How's Champ?

Went out on Sunday. Lots of walking..... we saw one chicken flush wild at 100 yards. The dogs did get some work on a covey of very young quail. Surprised they could fly. May go for a walk tomorrow morning too.

great looking pup!!:thumbsup:

Nick, sorry about Lucy. You did the right thing by her. I love that you buried her with the vest and some feathers. Very classy! Let the good memories live on!

Just came home with a pair of danner pronghorns from cabela's today. Impressed with the comfort. I'm confident that spending the extra money on some quality boots will be well worth it. I haven't had good luck with boots the last several years. I did try on the new Cabela's upland boots...

Went out this morning for about a 5 mile walk in the smoky hills. No prairie chickens encountered, only one small 7 bird quail covey right next to a marijuana patch. It was nice to get the dog out and get a few birds in his nose. I should have remembered the camera dangit! I'm enjoying the...

Heading to do a little walking with the pup in the smoky hills on Sunday. This will be the first time chasing chickens in this area. I'll report back....

CRP, I'm not sure how many people are still employed with Boeing in Wichita, several years ago a company named Spirit bought most of Boeing's facilities and took many of the employees with them. With many other aircraft companies in town I don't think it should have a huge impact on the new...

I handled one at the new Cabelas in Wichita. Very light and easy on the eyes. Time to save my pennies!

I've got the Spartan in 20 guage as well. Have been using it exclusively the last 5 years or so. No problems whatsoever. It knocks em out of the sky just fine. I do have my eye on a nice little 28 guage ringneck side by side, but I'm too cheap at the moment.

I once saw a rooster jump just high enough above the thigh high crp field we were hunting to take a peek at us. He was probably 60 yards ahead of us hunters and 30 yards ahead of the dogs. He ended up flushing at a dirt road about 5 minutes after he took a peek at us. Three of us took some...

I'm posting for a friend at work about her dog. Here's the info I know.... 14 month old English Pointer, not neutered, good with kids, never been hunted. If you are interested here is the email address she gave me srhays@cox.net You never know, he may just make someone a great hunting...
