    Saturday Hunt 1-14

    Originally I wasn't planning on hunting. But after the forecast changed and it didn't show the ice starting until Saturday night, I figured I would go out and see if I could get some birds. Started out on public ground finding 3 coveys and shooting 4 quail by about 10:00 am. Called a farmer I...

    Weekend Hunt + Video

    Hunted Saturday and Sunday. Hunted public on Saturday and pretty much every spot we went to had already been hunted by the tracks in the snow. Saw 4 groups out that day. I guess everyone wanted to hunt in the snow (I know we did). No birds seen or shot, I think we were the 2nd or 3rd group...

    Saturday Hunt

    Went out Saturday, had a great hunt. Shot a limit of quail in 3 hours out of 4 coveys. Tripled on one covey rise - 3 shots 3 birds down. Had my GoPro with me but of course I thought it was on recording some footage, when in fact I had turned it off so it made for a short video with the best...

    Sunday results

    Me and Setternut ventured out into the extreme cold in NC KS. With ice on my eye lashes and eye brows we pushed on in search of some roosters. We saw tons of tracks in the snow but judging by the distance between foot prints they were in full stride running away from us. We put 2 roosters in...

    Not a youth report but... did shoot some birds

    So I got my first bird dog this year. Had to really sell it to the wife to get her to agree. She fought it pretty hard but finally gave in. So we got the dog in March at 8 weeks old and at 3 months old I attended a Ronnie Smith training seminar so I could learn some things to do to help me...

    Looking for some new boots

    Any suggestions on some great boots for this season? I am looking for the lightest thing out there as there is nothing worse than heavy clunky boots. The lighter the better for me. My feet don't really get cold so that's not a concern. I've worn tennis shoes for years as I flat out hate heavy...

    Friday/Saturday

    I did the same as Setternut and took off work Friday. Rascal was in town from IL so we hunted together on some private ground I have north of Manhattan. We ended up moving 4 coveys and taking 8 birds. Saw 1 rooster. Had some REALLY smart coveys that literally gave us a "run" for our money...

    Quail

    Does anyone else feel like there are more quail around this spring? I live on the edge of Topeka and every single morning I hear so many quail whistling in the fields across the street from my house. I went on a walk the other morning and heard 8 different birds calling across the countryside...

    Great way to close out the season

    My boss took me out today on his ground. He knew of 6 coveys but we were only able to find 3. Shot 11 birds, lost one. One of the coveys was huge... 25 birds or so. We saw em running up an edge trying to out smart us! Dogs got them pinned down and it was on! Hunted 8:30-1:00. Can't wait...

    training day

    Had a fun training day with my lab Gus. Been trying to get him some upland experience since he has only water fowled until this year. He flushed 2 coveys and 3 singles today. This was his 3rd time out. He is starting to figure it out and he did a great job using his nose today. These were...

    Still some good farmers out there

    Was planning a upland hunt with a buddy of mine who has 3 dogs. I had access to about 250 acres of private land that I know has a couple coveys on it. I have always wanted to hunt some of the other pieces near there. I pulled up the county GIS map, found the land owners, called and went 4/4...
