I have had bird dogs for 45: years, my experience is that my dog most often will, track and follow up birds till they are pointed or they flush on thier own when they are pressured . yes my dog occasionally looses scent , she will double back and try and scent them again , my thoughts is the...

Here in Ks on public I walked 13 miles got one rooster and 2 quail , moved one covey and saw about 5 or 6 roosters , it takes a lot of boot leather to get birds In areas that have low numbers . Hope to be headed father west where numbers should be better .

Put 7/8 to an ounce of shot on the front end of a pheasant at reasonable ranges it really don’t matter the gauge , Make a bad shot and hit him to far back and you don’t break legs , you got a runner don’t matter the gauge . It is important to use right choke / load to make sure you are...

Good post Birddude , I always carry a back up to . Generally shoot my 20 ga sxs and back it up with My Benelli M-2 20 ga , if I go 12 ga it’s my Ruger Gold sxs and a 12 ga M-2 I was on a hunt in Neb with Miforester and my M-2 slipped over while I was crossing a fence or gate and got a bunch of...

Gregg , What got you started on sxs shotguns ? Do you use any others besides sxs ? Are most of yours light 12 ga 6 1/2 to 7 lbs ?

I have paid for habitat stamps in other states I think if Ks had an Upland habitat stamp and the wildlife and parks did manipulate for anything else but habitat , I can say the wild life and parks seem to be doing a good job on state owned lands / habitat work / on staff pheasant forever biologists.

Tom , Great to here about your hunt , sounds like the bird dog crew did you proud !!! Can’t wait to see the videos !!!

Can’t wait to here about your success, this looks fantastic, will you enroll it In The federal program ? If you enroll in it in the CRP program are the rates comparble to what cash rent would be ?

I have hunted the counties you mentioned, I think the counties around Osage county / Lyon county with the native grass pastures and row crap and tree lines would be good . In the area you talk about 5 to 6 coveys a day on private ground pretty doable . Treat yourself and your bird dogs and hunt...

I have hunted the stripper head wheat feilds good bird numbers , I have had my best luck hunting opposite direction of the combine tracks / cross row . Otherwise I have had birds run down the combine track for nearly a quarter section and get up,out of range.

Sorry to here about your first dog , good you have access to private ground . Birds will be feeding in the wheat and Milo,stubble early . If you have waterways / draws that run through crop fields that have good cover in them this can be a good place to start . Also if you are hunting where...
