Got out in Rooks County Friday after Thanksgiving for a couple of hours (yes, 28 members of my family conducted a civil protest on Thursday by having Thanksgiving dinner). Gorgeous cold morning with some frost on the ground and good moisture. We got two roosters including one of those you know...

Coast to Coast in Plainville usually will have good pheasant shell selection.

I think this is the fewest posts I have ever seen on a Kansas opening weekend thread. Covid? Poor reports? I thought the number of hunters where I was seemed about average but maybe I was overestimating some.

I think there is a book published by Fort Hays State that is all about range plants.

Sorry about the multiple pictures. Tech isn't easy. : )

Three guys, two dogs (one in his prime and one rapidly getting older english setter) 10 roosters and 5 quail. Rooks County, private land. We found them in grass next to milo stubble or vice versa. They had a ton of rain early in the year and the cover is incredible. CRP is tough to walk through...

Elbow room is a good way to put it. Sometimes I get to the top of a hill and you can see for 30 or 40 miles and I think about the folks who went through in wagons and I just wonder at their courage. Gorgeous country.

That bobcat is giant! I trapped a few in my youth and they were half the size of him. Great pics.

The pics are really cool. What is the bale looking thing? Is it a feeder of some sort?

Boots go on in Rooks County by any chance?

160 acres for sale 2 miles south of Webster lake. More Wiha and public hunting in immediate area than anywhere in County. Rolling, big draw with trees and catails and 40 acres approx of CRP at 48 an acre (I think). Land is down so probably 1k an acre. Message me if interested.

300 plus acres of average cropland in Rooks County (twin mounds area if you are familiar with the County) sold last week for $2,400 an acre. As far as I know that is a record. It had oil production (5,000 a year in royalty payments) but 2,400 seems slightly insane. Good cropland with some...

We have 40 plus acres that we are re-enrolling. I got a request from USDA for a practice to be done in 2015 or 2016. Whcih do you think is best for birds? Burning 2nd interseeding; light disking managed harvesting managed grazing My thought is 2nd interseeding but would like opinions. Disking...

I was out in Ellis and Rooks counties this weekend. I wish it was dove season as I could have shot (at) a limit from my sister's porch. I was surprised to the good about milo. Milo actually looks pretty good overall. There are fields that it looks short and hasn't headed out but as a whole, not...

I remember last year just before the season there was like a biomass map of Kansas/Okla. Anyone remember what it was called or where a current one can be found?

I would like to know more about field trials. I have a nice little setter who I don't think would embarrass me about finding birds or holding them to flush. However, she does not retrieve at all (she marks downed birds, goes to them but does not bring them back). Are there any trials that do not...

These were from opening weekend. Did approximately the same Thanksgiving weekend. The little setter is 1 1/2 years old. Really pleased with her. :) Makes up for all of the parts of my house she has chewed up. (Not great with attachments we will see if this works)

I am thinking about supplementing birds the first weekend on at least part of my ground. (I had more moisture than most but bad hail). Do bird raisers ship adult birds? Any names anyone uses that might ship or would be in W kan or in Salina area as I'm coming through? Thanks

Hunted her at 8 months on wild birds in Kansas and she would go all day, got birdy a couple of times but no points. Took her to a preserve this weekend to see if she had matured some and I got 15 points from her and she was steady to flush on 10 of them. She is a little bitty thing (under 30 lbs...

I have been looking for a bird dog for probably a year. Found a litter of setters up in Kansas and bought a female pup. She's gorgeous (i'm prejudiced) and pointed where a blackbird HAD been on first day. I will try to figure out pics.
