Greetings everyone. I'm new to the forum. After about a week of scouring over loads of discussions here I decided to join yesterday.
Great site, with a ton of information!
I'm from Texas, but live in Europe. I'm taking a two-week trip home from late-Dec to mid-Jan, and gonna do some bird hunting.
My brother and I are thinking about heading up to Kansas for a couple of days to chase pheasant. (with the help of his Brittany)
We'll be heading from the Dallas/Ft Worth area up to the Texas panhandle to hunt quail, and could possibly continue on from there.
I've narrowed it down to two possible areas in KS to target.....NW area- Hill City/Norton/Oberlin.......or SW area- Liberal/Garden City.
Any thoughts/advice on these two areas? (Or suggestions for other areas!)
We would be hunting WIHA, but wouldn't be opposed to knocking a door or two to inquire about the possibility of hunting some private land.
Coming from the TX panhandle, obviously the SW part of the state is closer. But we'll gladly drive extra to have a better chance of getting into birds.
We want to go wherever we have the best chance to get into a couple of roosters, and don't mind putting in lots of walking to get it done.
We have tremendous numbers of quail in the TX panhandle this year, but the pheasant in the area we hunt are all but gone.
So driving to KS is worth it to us, even knowing that it will be tough late-season hunting.
Any advice/thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated!
