I am slowly checking off the ones not to return to so I can get my regulars established! Right now I am going with the blind squirrel method, eventually I am going to find a nut. 😂 I really do enjoy the views in the prairie, your high point place sounds nice. When I lived in Utah and hunted...

It is definitely good to have a back up! I have a minimum 2 hour drive, so my heart rate picks up a bit when there is a vehicle in my first or second choice. 😂

I think everyone was taking advantage of the cooler weather. I have been out 4 out of the 5 weekends hunting and haven't seen anyone else until this last weekend when I saw 4 other trucks in a pretty small area. I have also noticed the thickness of the cover this season as compared to last year.

I went out again today (10/19), walked about 5 miles, dogs went over 12. The dogs pointed a covey of quail, a couple turkeys, doves, meadowlarks, etc… and the only chickens I saw flushed from a private bean field and flew over the truck to more private.

Great advice! Exactly what I needed. Thank you

I am looking for a used Garmin Pro 550+, let me know what you have and how much you want for it. Thanks

Caught one small cutthroat trout. The water was pretty cold and the fish were not very active.

I took a week off from chasing Kansas prairie chickens and took my son back to Utah where I lived for 30+ years to chase mule deer with my family. He took a nice 3 point with a broken antler and then went went trout fishing. Now I am ready to get back to chickens!! I wish we could get the...

I went out again on Saturday (10/4) to a different spot. We were only able to hunt about 2 hours due to the heat, I went a little over 4 miles and the dogs went over 7. We had a couple unproductive points and I did see one lone chicken flying past us well out of gun range. I am going to give...

That is a good sized herd of antelope. Also, that draw looks like a great place to find some pheasants!!

I went back out on Sunday (9/28) and didn't see any birds, but also did not have my dogs get sprayed by a skunk, so it wasn't a total loss. 😂 We only hunted for a couple hours due to the heat, I am really looking forward to cooler weather!!

I have an Alpha 100 and a 200. The screens and maps are nice, but for training I wish I had the 550+. I started with the old TriTronics tube style transmitters and am more familiar with them.

Ouch!!! Mine was a quick drive to Orchelins with the windows down and hose bath with some kind of skunk off shampoo in the parking lot before heading home. Still not great, but much better than that!! Ozium saved my marriage. 😂

I was just glad I was in my truck with the kennel in the back this time, last time I had my wife's Explorer because it was just a quick trip......

I went out on Friday morning (9/19). The fog was thick and everything was soaking wet from the overnight rain, including me after about 100 yards. Dogs were working a hillside and went into some trees in the ravine, I heard growling and fighting, I hollered and they came running up the hill...
