Just wanted to give any Kansas hunters fair warning that after Thanksgiving there will not be any roosters left in Stevens or Seward county. Reason being is my GSP and I will be passing through and after we take our limit the rest of the Roosters will get wind of us and hightail it to safer...

It appears like I will be hitting the fields solo next week as my usual compardres got hit by Obamanomics and have to take passes for this year. While being a single is not that distressing I would welcome an experienced upland hunter(s) to join me for some passes. Not really interested in new...

I am perplexed that so many people are against a mosque being built near Ground Zero. I think it should be the goal of every society to be tolerant. The mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance. That is why I also propose, that two gay nightclubs be opened next door to the...

I have found a Winchester Model 70 Classic (post 64) Featherweight in 270 win with the BOSS attachment. Beautiful rifle. The BOSS is the version with the muzzle brake but a convential recoil version is also available which would be my preference in a 270. Has anyone used a rifle with the...

I talked with a landowner in Hugoton yesterday and she mentioned they have seen two hatches so far and it looks like a third will be possible. She also mentioned the moisture levels have been good with some dry land fields giving up 80-100 bushels an acre. She mentioned some grapefruit size...

As I can sit on my deck with the dog at my feet, the guns cleaned and oiled, clothes washed and packed, boots cleaned and dressed, and the other gear packed and stored for the next trip to pheasant country I think back over the two trips I made to Kansas this year and compare it to the other...

After getting some roosters in the freezer it was time to focus on rounding out the food pyramid with some venison. I spent the New Years weekend at a friend's ranch in the Texas Hill Country putting some does on the ground. After getting the venison on ice it was time to see if any of the...

Since his little affairs have come to light, several of Tiger Woods' sponsors have dropped him. However, Pfizer Pharmacutical has decided to sponsor him. They are making a new drug called Tiagra. It's good for 18 holes.

Since I had to return to the Hugoton area to retrieve my suburban from the body shop I figured I would squeeze in a couple of days of hunting with my son and some of his frat brothers from college. Had a great time hunting some new private land north and NW of Hugoton. Saw lot of hens and was...

Spent last week chasing birds through Kansas and thought I would share some information with those heading that way. One thing I will note is most of the roosters taken in years past were one year olds but this year we bagged 4 two year old birds. Garfield/Larned area - better than last year...

...of my Suburban. Here are some pics of the damage to my 03 Suburban caused by t-boning a deer at 65 MPH on Kansas 156 about 14 miles west of Jetmore. This happened last Tuesday evening while we were travelling to Garden City. Needless to say I will be installing a strong grill guard once I...

Got a call from the Taxidermist that my pheasant mount from last year was ready. When I dropped it off I told him I wanted a flushing mount but I think he misunderstood.

I currently have plans to hunt some private land in the Lakin area on this day. Right now it is just myself, my Cajun hunting buddy and our pups. If there are any locals in that area who want to meet up and walk some fields send me a PM. If you have some access to add to the mix that would be...

I am making plans for my annual pheasant trip to SW Kansas and thought there might be some local hunters who might want to hook up and walk a couple of fields. I have access to private acreage around Garfield I typically start on then move towards Liberal for the second half of the week to hunt...

Hoping it comes in my size!
