Was hunting NC Kansas probably 15 years ago and had two dogs on point. I took the older dog who was off on my right. Walked up and two roosters jumped up and I shot and killed the first one and missed the second. As I put another shell in my younger dog broke on his point and a covey started...

My father in-law (almost 80) was born and raised in Western Kansas. He talks a lot about hunting "back in the day" and he remembers as a kid they would hook a long chain between two pickup trucks and drive through the fields. The shooters would ride in the back and shoot while the trucks were...

I did pheasant Jambalaya a couple weeks ago, pretty much the same way and man, it was delicious! Thanks for adding the pics, I always like seeing pics of food. I've been on a cajun kick lately, did pheasant sauce piquant last week, also very good. Look up chicken sauce piquant and just...

For the first time in 25 years I did not head West for the opener. With the temps and the wind I decided to wait a week or two to head out. Deer hunted Saturday wishing I was bird hunting. I did head out around the house Sunday morning and fought the wind for 3-4 hours and put one rooster in...

I usually clean mine the day they are shot but I also will put them feathers and all in my beer fridge in the garage and clean them the following day. Never had any issues, seems the meat is more tender if I put them in the fridge overnight.

Probably have told this story on here before but I learned a valuable lesson on sharing hunting/fishing spots a long time ago. When I was student teaching 30 years ago I had a spot on the river (public) and was catching the heck out of the white bass during the Spring run. It was off the...

I've rifle deer hunted for years but put off getting into bow hunting because I didn't want to be torn between sitting in a tree and chasing bird dogs around. Finally got into bow hunting 3-4 years ago and I love it. I do most of my bow hunting the end of October before bird season starts but...

I've owned shorthairs all my life and while I know there's some close working ones, my last one was not. Otto was a big runner and frankly it drove me crazy the past 4 seasons. I had to hunt with my finger on the collar to keep him in somewhat control. It wore on me and finally I had enough...

I have a Garmin Pro 550 with GPS that I'm looking at getting rid of if you're interested. I used it with my shorthair (big runner) for 3-4 years and then once I got my Brittany I haven't used it at all. Got one other guy that's interested in it but I haven't heard back from him. Take a look...

Yes I do. PM me your number and I'll get some pics sent to you tonight. Thanks, Bryan

Contemplating selling my two hole diamond plate box. Bought it two years ago from a member here but I haven't used it much since my hunting buddy also got one and his is a little lighter. It has top storage and is in great condition. It's a Houndsmen Deluxe and is 40 inches deep, 46 wide and...

Just posted in the Kansas board but I had the best quail hunt of my life yesterday. We (buddy and I) moved 10 coveys in a half day hunt. Our pups were into quail non-stop for 5 hours. Man, it was fun! I'm normally a pheasant guy but I may need to start switching it up and focusing more on...

Normally I'm a pheasant guy, nothing like the rush of a rooster pheasant! But, yesterday I went on the best quail hunt I've ever been on, moved 10 coveys in a half day. The coveys were big and the dogs were into birds for pretty much 5 hours straight. Our shooting wasn't good and we didn't...

I had one last weekend out by Dodge City that just didn't seem right. Walked up on it (after I killed him) and realized it was banded and released by the Dodge City visitors convention. Shot number 196 our of I believe 250. Got a chance at $500 I'm told.

Had one happen two weeks ago that's never happened to me. My buddy shot a rooster and I went to pick it up and the thing started kicking his legs crazy and spurred the heck out of me. I got about a foot long deep scratch on my forearm and was bleeding pretty good. Should make a sweet scar!
