Just thought I would start a thread to see how people are doing.
It has been slow thus far this year, but I am hoping with this upcoming cold spell that maybe things will get better. I have seen quite a few quail on my outings which is always fun getting into. Pheasants have been hit or miss. I have been getting out in the SE and central parts of the state and both seem to have birds, but it is just a matter of finding them and getting close. Have been skunked a few times (still saw some hens which was nice) which hasn't been as bad since we have bumped into some quail. Like others have reported I have seen quite a bit of out of state hunters this year and they seem to have mixed reviews. A lot of them are here for the quail and have usually been able to find them.
Headed to the SW portion of the state for the first time and I am excited and trying to keep my expectations low from the various reports I have seen on here and heard from others. We will be hunting all public so I am crossing my fingers we don't run into too many grazed or hayed fields and can get on some birds. Either way it will be a good time with good friends!
Hope everyone is doing well and hope to hear from some of you on how the season is coming along.
