When I was in college - late 90s - I hunted a lot around Anderson (Garnett) and Allen (Iola) counties. By then, people had started to talk about there not being as many quail as there used to be, but for a kid from Wyoming it seemed like heaven. We routinely moved 7-10 coveys a day, sometimes...

With due respect to Kansas communities and farmers/ranchers, all of us have been pleading with them for years to recognize the damage they are doing to their land, their economies, and the future of their communities. It doesn't work in Kansas. I don't know why. But one could read "What's the...

5 guys and 2 seasoned dogs hunted northwest(ish) Kansas hard on Saturday/Sunday. 4 roosters and a handful of quail. Mostly private and a couple of WIHAs. Spoke with a few other groups. Just as bad and usually much worse than our experience. It's truly abysmal out there - just as bad as they...

Hey all - This thread has undoubtedly been put up here before, but I couldn't find it. I typically hunt Kansas and Nebraska, but things there are no bueno right now. I am considering a trip to southern SD in November and would like to pay a reasonable trespass fee to a reputable...

I have often complained that folks in the City simply aren't interested in what is happening to rural farm land, unless they grew up there and/or hunt. Interesting to see a liberal rag investigate the effects of ethanol and corn production to the land and wildlife we all treasure. Even more...

Hey all, a little help with a scouting adventure. I have a potential job offer in Bozeman, MT. I went through there 3 years ago and thought "what a beautiful place." Wasn't considering the hunting possibilities. Now that it is a possibility, I am wondering where the nearest place to pheasant...

I have finally accepted the repeated invitation to hunt some private land near the SD/ND border this fall. I have hunted every major pheasant state (and some not so major ones) except North Dakota. It's a long trip and ya gotta drive through some pretty good country to get there, so I am...
