    It's just crazy how much the hunting has changed since the 2000's. That time the hunting was so good. My father said the 1980's were the best. Kansas harvested over a million roosters a few times during that decade. Which is just crazy to think about for Kansas.

    Quail hunting Southeast Kansas

    Curious, I heard from some old timers that Southeast Kansas used to be the mecca of quail hunting for Kansas years ago. What were the general areas that used to be the hot spots? They told me Iola, St Paul, Garnett etc... Crazy to think it was once phenomenal bird hunting...

    Spraying

    Just wanted to give my opinion on why pheasant numbers are terrible in Kansas, and I also it think effects other wildlife. I think ever since No-Till Farming, and the use of pesticides, and herbicides. Pheasants, Quail, Turkeys, and even deer in my part of the state have struggled. Why doesn't...

    Upland bird population will never fully rebound.

    I will probably get lambasted by saying this, but let's face it. The way the state of Kansas has been steering the wheel, the way farming has been going into the modern age. The pheasants and quail populations will never be like it was, nor will it probably get much better anytime in the near...

    Kirwin NWR

    Kirwin the self-proclaimed "goose capital of Kansas" used to be a gem. I remember as a little boy my father and I had a pit lease and would do very well with the Giant Canada geese. But over the last ten years something must've happened with the migration...all Kirwin gets now is snow geese, and...

    North central Kansas

    Well, as far as the reports from everyone and the state. I will testify for them and say they are pretty accurate at least here in north central Kansas. Where I have family ground. The quail are everywhere..the pheasants are simply not there. The spots that are usually very good for...
