I realize that this is a "colorado" regional forum, however I do live in Colorado Springs and I wanted to share some pics from our annual pheasant hunt out near Dodge City, KS. I have been hunting out there since 1996. I hunt with locals and mostly all private land. It is always an awesome...

Well all you Kansas rooster hunters, my son got his first pheasant this past Sunday 20 November out by Dodge City. We are going to get it mounted when we get back. It was pretty cool....there are a few roosters still around down here ;):p We ended up after two and half days hunting (with 4...

Well, attention all Colorado pheasant hunters......my 12yr old son Colton, shot his first pheasant today, Sunday 20 November 2012. I got to witness the whole thing which was awesome!! So, it was about 1500hrs, not much wind, temp about 33degrees. We had two blockers at the end of this long...

Well, we got out here early Friday morning to Kansas out near Dodge City. The first day, Friday that is, we got 4 birds. There is myself, Colton (12yr old son), and two reall good buddies of mine. On the way out, my 1yr old yellow lab female got tangled in a barb wire fence when were airing...

Not much to say.:mad::(:confused: Heading to Kansas this weekend. Hope everyone had a good opening weekend. I am looking forward to hopefully my no 12yr old son getting his first wild pheasant. He is a trooper. If it weren't for him and my dogs I wouldn't be hunting. Greg

I am very excited because this season my yellow lab female (Daisy) pup will be hunting with me. She turns 1yr old in November. I have been working on all her OB, retrieving with dead pheasants and such. Shot the gun around her and introduced her to some upland drills. The only thing I need...

Is everyone getting ready? Got your shells, guns cleaned, practiced shootng at the range, scouted your areas, got the hotel reservations, dogs are good to go, truck ready to go, your checklist checked, confirmed with your hunting partners/buddies, got the OK from CINC House..... Here is to an...

I realize that this is an upland/pheasant hunting forum, however I have been trying to find a duck club that leases blinds/spots for its members for duck hunting. The reason being is that I want to get my 12yr old son out on some waterfowl for the first time, however I don't want to have to...

Howdy all, well here goes. I have been on the UPH for a while now. I mainly stay on the Colorado (I live in Colorado Springs) or Kansas sites. I am retired Air Force. I have been hunting wild pheasant since 1996. I got my first ever opportunity to hunt pheasant in Kansas back in 1996. I...

Well I went out by the Hugo area east of Colorado Springs. Got there about an hour before shooing time. There were already a line of trucks park in the parking area :mad::eek: I saw that all the "good areas" were taken up (the ones I had scouted). It looks like some guys may have "camped...

Well I am looking at the forecast for Colorado Springs and they are calling for a high of 74 this Sunday with rain. Now I hope and pray that this front pushes all the way downt through KS, OK, and into Texas. Hopefully this will be the beginning of some cooler wather and moisture. I talked...

I tell you what, with all this rain we have been getting (at least down here around the Springs and east) the sunflowers are sprouting up like wildfire. It looks like it maybe a good opening day. Anyone have any idea on how the bird numbers are locally? I know it can change like that with a...

So with all the heat and everything...how are things looking for this fall? mainly in southwest part of Kansas? I hope there haven't been any bad hail storms. I can smell it in the air, can you? Oh wait, down that way it usually smells like cow$&*$ :D I am getting my pup ready....looking...

So, while out in southwest KS this past weekend (down by Dodge City). We rolled in around noontime on Friday. We hit this really, thick, and I mean thick, like shoulder high switchgrass (CRP), that was a buttkicker to walk in. I mean who needs pilates when you have this kind of walking...

So we all had an awesome time down by Dodge City this past MLK weekend. From Friday afternoon until Monday mid morning, we shot 30 birds. We were all within our 4 bird limit. I actually got my limit on Saturday and I shot 3 on Friday and 3 on Sunday. Monday wasn't too great, weird weather...

Heading out to Dodge City this weekend. We will be hunting in/around that area. Wondering how much snow is there on the ground? I been checking the NOAA website and they are saying that with the cold temps during the day and night that the snowpack won't be melting much by this weekend that...

Anyone know or have a good grasp of what the weather forecast will be for MLK weekend?? Greg

So I was thinking how much I hate the after the holidays, new years, christmas blues. The gift returns, the back to work, exercise off all the food, beer and candy. I did come up with the top three things though I don't like or look forward too when the calendar turns to January: 1) that...

So we are heading out to/around Dodge on MLK weekend. I saw that there was some snow down there from this last storm, man wish I was there for that!! I will be hunting pretty much all private land though so we should do alright. I am hoping that my son will get his first wild rooster (and...

In order for us rooster hunters and such with dogs (heck I probably wouldn't have ever gone bird hunting if I didn't have a dog anyway)...we should be more respectful of the place we are staying and that starts with being a responsible dog owner. If you have a GOOD WAY TO SECURE YOUR DOG IN A...
