Does Kansas currently stock pheasant? I was driving around 2-3 years ago the day before the opener and I saw roosters all over the dirt roads. It seemed like someone dropped them off. That was the only time I have seen that.

Is it too early to get excited?

I see the dates for Youth pheasant season as Nov 7-8, 2026. Can I assume general opener is Nov 14, 2026? My google skills are failing me at this point.

When and where is pheasant fest 2027? I would love to go.

I appreciate that list. So many of those ring true for me. Thanks for reposting. I didn't see it last year.

I just read it and I am looking for some private land to pay for access to hunt for a day or two. I figure that might help my chances. I have a 2 year old bird dog that hasn't seen many birds yet.

I am patterning different shotgun shells and I was wondering if anyone knew what an effective shot density would be for pheasant. I guess shot size and type are factors. I currently looking at #4 bismuth and #5 and 6 lead. I'm patterning at 30 and 40 yards.

Last year I found the pockets of birds. When I went back at Christmas my fields were bailed. I bet they have already been bailed this year.

I have none. Just starting out.

I am Considering reloading 20 gauge with bismuth. I'm looking for a 3" shell with 1 oz of number 5 bismuth. Does anybody have a recommended recipe ?

It is that time of the year again. Wayne of Snakebreaker.com will be at my place again on SUNDAY JULY 31 for his famous snake avoidance clinic. He will begin his clinic shortly after sunrise and go until all the dogs are trained. The cost is $100 per dog. He will NOT have the vaccine this year...

I have looked at tons on Google and Amazon and none look like mil spec.

I'm looking for an Orange Boony hat for upland hunting. The one I have says 1 size fits all and I think it was for a child. I had to cut it to make it fit my big head. I'm looking for one that's close to military specs because the other ones either have a really huge brim or a really small brim...

I shoot a double barrel and there were many times I wish I had the third shell. I'm not saying I would have had the bird, but at least I would have had a chance.

I miss youth season. My boys are now too old. I loved working the dogs and watching the kids.
