Wrong year was my first thought, but the list of opening dates is from the front page of this website and each states "2021". I tend to check with the proper agencies when I see something strange like this, but for someone that doesn't and wants to hunt opening day in either SD or Kansas this...

When steel first came out, Tom Roster, that was doing most of the ballistics work and trying to make the case that steel will work for waterfowl, told us that for whatever reason, #3 steel shot seemed to outperform other sizes. I don't know if that is still true, but I've used a lot of #3 steel...

Some time ago I looked at the introductory page to UltimatePheasantHunting.com and blithely wrote the season dates given for the states I generally hunt in on my 2021 calendar. Today I had some time to double check those dates as it seemed funny that Kansas, South Dakota and Colorado were...

We have two yellow labs, both from breeders here in Colorado. We've also had yellows from a breeder in Washington State. Our current pair are "British" and "American" lineage. The Brit is easy going, a little hard headed, and a great bird dog. The "American" is from good trialing stock and is a...

I believe Kansas has something similar to Colorado's "corners for conservation". There are quite a few center pivot corners enrolled in their WIHA program in the areas I hunt. The availability of pumped water near good nesting habitat would seem to be very helpful to brood survival.

We are done hunting for the winter so I have time to update this. After Danner replaced six pair of their High Ground boots because the fabric eyelets would wear and break they finally quit making that boot. They do make another boot, the "Vital" that is made on the same last but with metal...

In the areas I hunt very few of the landowners live anywhere near their land. Most live in town, many are non-residents. If you stop and ask at a farmhouse you will most often find that the folks living there are renters and have no authority to give hunting permission. In this situation, most...

I have to wonder, "Why?" This sounds a lot like the folks that "bag" multiple 14teeners (mountain peaks) in a day here in Colorado. They certainly can do it, but they never see where they are at, never stop to enjoy the view, the fresh air, whatever. I admire those folks for their physical...

Seems like deer season in the part of Kansas we hunt was more "exciting" than we've experienced over the past years. Orange was out in gangs. We avoid areas that look like "deer country" as much as possible. We didn't have any issues but it does make one a bit nervous, especially when you find...

Another issue this year with Covid is that, for whatever reason, out of work, want to get out/away from others, the area we hunt in Kansas was over-run with out of state hunters. We were out there 3 weeks and starting Thanksgiving the rush was on.

Just spent 3 weeks in Kansas. Started with my Beretta 686 20ga. I shoot it well but after lots of miles (birds were thin in some areas) I went back to my Cynergy Feather 20ga. I believe I fits me a little better than the Beretta and I shoot it well. As long as I shoulder the gun properly the...

We regularly hunt (until Covid-19 slowed us down) North Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas, primarily on "walk-in" hunting areas (different names in each state). By far, South Dakota has been the worst for hunters "jumping" on our hunt. The most memorable was a group in South Dakota that watched us...

This gun is used, condition noted to the best of my ability. Shipping $55 ground/insured to FFL of your choice. Must accept firearms from private seller. Signed copy of FFL required. Payment by bank check, postal money order or verified wire transfer only. All sales are final. This is a used...

I'm considering hunting Montana this fall. Does Montana have a public/walk-in hunting area Atlas or something similar? Even better does it have downloadable GPS maps like Kansas and SD do? I'm spoiled. I normally hunt Kansas and SD and both have excellent map information on their public and...

I was at a meeting last week that included folks from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Farm Service Agency (FSA) (the agency in charge of CRP contracts). When the subject of drought came up, one of the questions asked was whether the hay harvested under the current...
