I just got a new electric saw myself. Never use my gas saw now.

I assume this was a while back?

I agree. NR deer hunting has changed everything. It is virtually impossible to find a place to hunt deer but you can still find places to hunt birds, it just takes more work. But the WIHA program needs a total overhaul or ended. Nearly half of the acres enrolled in the WIHA program are not...

Sorry Charlie figure it out on your own.

Nope wasn't born in Kansas but have lived here for most of my life. I probably get a dozen new properties to hunt each year, all from strangers. Most of the pheasants I killed this year were on properties I acquired this fall. 31 years actually for the WIHA program. They began the WIHA...

I don't own land and I don't hunt any WIHA. WIHA isn't that old of a program so what did you all do before WIHA? Before Kansas added the WIHA program, non-landowners managed to do just fine. Matter of fact, we had more people hunting the uplands in Kansas without WIHA than we do with WIHA...

About like large groups surrounding a field. No sport in that either.

Uh don't buy this book. Instead get the DVD's from Evan Graham or Mike Lardy. Here are others opinions on Gun Dog from the RTF forum. He was a writer not a trainer. https://www.retrievertraining.net/threads/opinions-on-richard-wolters.111026/#replies

Dogs aren't idiots. Unfortunately, their short comings are a result from being trained by idiots.

46, you're just a kid. I trained my first dog at 14. If I live to be 100 and need a dog, you bet your ass I am going to get one. I have never been without one and never will be without one. I guarantee you golf is much more expensive than owning and training a dog.

There isn't much revenue from upland hunters compared to deer and waterfowl hunting. It's dying. But at least we have a new house bill for stocking pheasants, which is a joke.

They aren't going to offer a plate for every game species. What do you expect, a plate for turkeys, ducks, geese, antelope, rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, etc? Besides, the deer is for Wildlife, the fish is for Fishing, the chickadee is for Non Game Wildlife, and the camping is for State Parks...

It could come back if they would eliminate the WIHA program and start investing in landowners and habitat. Instead, their focus is revenue from NR hunting.

HB 2547 Requiring a valid upland game bird stamp prior to taking any upland game bird in this state, except on private land, establishing the upland game bird restoration fund and requiring the department of wildlife and parks to use moneys from such fund for the procurement and release of...

That's where we disagree. Like I said earlier, they were as thick as blackbirds back in the day, even in the smoky's. They could black out the sky. Wish everyone on here could have seen them in the 60's and 70's.
