I haven't hunted Kansas since November 2012, I started hunting South Dakota for sharptail and chickens in 2013, quail came back here in Texas in 2014-2015, so Kansas just hasn't been on the radar. However, I have 2 younger cousins who really want to try pheasant and chickens. It'll be one trip for us up there this year, I am on a 20,000 acre quail lease in west Texas this season where we were finding 35-40 coveys a day last season.
I used to hunt out of Dodge, in almost every direction, then moved up to Wakeeney area and hunted the whole NW side of the state from there. If you had to pick, which of those areas would be best to try this year for a short weekend hunt?
