    Off season dog training

    Thanks! I reached out to Perfection Kennels but had not heard back.

    Off season dog training

    Weimdogman, Do you know if it requires a lot of birds in the Perfect Whoa? I am hopefully building my pigeon coop this weekend but a lot of methods require a lot of birds and I don't know when I will have a bunch to use.

    Off season dog training

    I have had hunting dogs my entire life, mainly GSP and GWP. I recently picked up a 1.5 year old GWP that had never been hunted. I let her be a pup for her first season and follow my 5 year old GWP around and by the end of the season she actually found, pointed and retrieved a rooster on public...

    Road conditions

    I am sorry to hear about your dog passing. Getting out one last time, enjoying a successful hunt and passing in your sleep is probably about the best way a dog could go, hell, I think most of us would prefer that for ourselves.

    Sold

    I would like to trade my AR chambered in 7.62x39 for a 20 gauge semi auto. I would prefer to do face to face in Kansas. Everything seen in the picture is included. Message with any questions.

    Thank you for the tips!

    Start of Prairie Chicken Season

    I was thinking once they got into bigger flocks they would be harder to pin down with dogs, but was hoping someone might have a trick they could pass on. When I first started hunting Kansas in the 90s before moving out here I had never seen or heard of a prairie chicken and flushed a covey about...

    Start of Prairie Chicken Season

    I had a question for those with more experience than me, how does the prairie chicken hunt strategy change during winter? Do they bunch up like other birds? Do they change their exposure to more open areas? I am thinking of hunting them with a combination of strategies between pheasant and...

    Opening Day in Kansas

    22,000 NR deer hunters each chipping in ~$500 in permits definitely points the needle in their direction when it comes to KDWP interest!

    Opening Day in Kansas

    I lost access to the property I had been hunting since the 90s due to a land sale, so rather than trying to figure out a new spot on opening morning I decided to not head as far west and just try and get the pup on some birds. We found one covey of quail and I shot one for the dogs and called...

    Youth Weekend

    We missed the opener due to a sick dog recovering but went out on Sunday. We went to Glen Elder and saw one other group hunting but didn't hear them shoot. We only saw one pheasant, a rooster, which flushed wild out ahead of the dogs. The cover was decent, but it was very dry and windy, which...

    Start of Prairie Chicken Season

    Wow! I would say I wish I had your luck, but something tells me it wasn't luck that got in in position to get those birds. With the steady decline in pheasants and my proximity to their habitat, I think I will start putting in more time to figuring out chickens. I don't think my dogs will...

    Start of Prairie Chicken Season

    I made it back out last weekend. The dogs ran over 15 miles but we didn't put any birds in the air. I thought I saw one group flush waaaaay out ahead of us but couldn't be sure if they were chickens. I used the tips you guys had given me and felt more prepared and less just wandering around...

    Start of Prairie Chicken Season

    Thank you. I went after the bird that flushed (it flew over the ridge so no idea where it went), but later was thinking to myself I should have went back to the area where it flushed incase there were more. I grew up hunting chukars and there always seemed to be a few stragglers after the...

    Start of Prairie Chicken Season

    I am still trying to learn the PC hunting game, but went out Sunday and managed to finally see one. It flushed wild while I was trying to get into a position to use the wind to our advantage. There was only 1 bird that flushed, is this common or are they typically grouped up. After reading...
