Lack of water more than likely. Should be drinking 64 ounces a day. If it is torn, you wouldn't be walking.

It's the over grazing that hurts all of wildlife. Over grazing has led to the expansion of cedars in some areas. Ranchers want to swath everything. Out of state swathers watch the drought monitor like a hawk and flock to areas when emergency grazing and haying opens up. A lot of Kansas bales...

I like mine. Deadly so far with a Briley Light Mod tube, non-ported of course.

I want my dogs on the birds as soon as it hits the ground.

Cats are a major problem in western Kansas with all the small towns we have out here. They hunt, hunt, and hunt some more for quail, rabbits, birds, etc. It's best to eliminate as many as you can.

You're right, a total lack of habitat. That's why we see birds really concentrated in areas with habitat. I have never seen farmers and ranchers bale as much hay as they do now. And a lot of it goes to Texas. Those out of state swathers monitor that drought monitor and come a calling when...

Yep due to access and low bird numbers.

I figured it was somewhere around there. It has been so bad for so long many forget what a great year looks like. We will be way under what a good year actually is again this year. When we start harvesting 750,000 plus birds a year I might use the word spectacular but we won't harvest half...

I'm getting ready to replace my Falken Wildpeaks. They are at 5/32 but the noise on the highway is unbearable. I still get great gas mileage but hate the noise. They weren't loud until I got down to about 7/32. Anyway I am going with the Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail® AT. If you do the...

I saw a lot of 30 plus bird flushes last year. Where I seen 30 last year I'm seeing 15 this year. Not for sure what the harvest was estimated to be last year, but I assume well under 350,000. I know 2023 was one of the worst. I expect this year will be slightly under last year. Far from...

No I have never owned one.

Thanks for ignoring me. What you should do is try to encourage more membership in Kansas not insult the PF members. You discourage membership in Kansas on this forum.

Do me a favor and put me on your ignore list please! I am from Kansas and negative on PF. There is something wrong with you. How would non- members hear of a pheasant fest at a banquet? You're the one that said KS has a low number of PF members. Of those 500, they don't need to target...

I hunt all private ground

I shoot my bow and shotgun in a similar fashion, just point and shoot. I shoot traditional archery so no sight or anything. I don't use the bead on my gun really, at least I don't notice that I do. Just instinctive shooting my bow however I do use the arrow, so probably just using the barrel.
