    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    I think they are about 3.5lbs. But for me anyway they wear lighter than they are.

    Loosing birds

    Yeah a good kid. And nice him and his dad both. I always look forward to hunting with them. A couple years ago when I hunted with them last the kid was about half the size.

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    I bought a pair of kenetrek hardscrabbles a couple of years ago and liked them so much I ended up buying a second pair this last summer. I wear one of them almost everyday, they’ve taken years off my feet. They may need inserts at some point but figure I’m set for as long as I can keep hunting...

    Things I learned and Questions I have

    lol I had the only bag this weekend, and the only dogs. One of the guys was on the other end from me and picked one up. I yelled over to him throw it back on the ground so you don’t have to walk over to me.The dog will pick it up and bring it to me. Sure enough…He gave me a big thumbs up!

    What is a good quail hunt?

    I hunted Nebraska quite a bit the last two years The area I hunted 1 or 2 coveys a day was about it maybe 3 on a good day. Kansas was good for maybe another covey a day. This was on public land. Private land can be better. I saw more people in Nebraska this year than last. I was primarily...

    Loosing birds

    That’s awesome Bob.We lost 2 chickens a quail and 2 pheasants. I’m not sure out of how many but I’m guessing about 45 and a few more with other hunters. My dead ratio sucked this year. I’m proud of my dogs they bailed me out most of the tIme.

    Preferred Hunt Start Time

    Long drive I’ll start hunting around 9am that gets me out of the house around 5 or 6. A shorter drive I may not start hunting until 10 or 11 . I do a lot of day trips. I like to spend time in the field proportionate to the time spent driving there and back.

    Good quail hunt

    From what I saw and heard they are. Various members of my wife’s family. 3 years ago one added a second corner to a big half circle. This last year a couple others added a second and third corner to a big full circle and a third and fourth corner to each of a couple of small circles. They and...

    Good quail hunt

    I’m the same way a pheasant guy. Sat. We got into 5 coveys I think and another one Sunday. One covey had to be 50 birds and another one close to it. I think this is the best year I’ve seen for quail in the areas I hunt since when the population exploded coming out the last drought in 14, 15. I’m...

    Loosing birds

    We lost a bird today, but made some tough ones this weekend that could also have been easily lost. If at the end of the year I lose 1 out of 8 or even 1 out of 10 I want to do better. I’ve started trying to treat every bird like it’s the only bird I’m going to get to shoot today. The dogs were...

    This was a good tip, and one I hadn't ever heard before

    In western Ks they’ll run water on green wheat in Dec. in a dry fall that’s where they will be close to. One year I watched a group of hawks dive bombing three or four roosters that were standing under the sprinkler getting drinks.

    Confusing fat?

    I think that it’s. Looking at it in the reading room. Diet high in beta carotene will change the color of fat to yellow. Greens are a good source. I wonder maybe if some of its winter wheat.

    Shot Variety

    I think you get more going aways late season. Or maybe it just feels that way after toteing the gun half a day and whiffing twice.

    Pheasant Fest 2025 KC

    I think Matt is right it was Jan 29 in 2011. I don’t know if I’ll make it. It could be fun to do it once. We use to have an outdoor show and I would go every year. Towards the end it had deteriorated so bad that’s it has kind of soured me to idea of going to another one.
