    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.

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

    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.

    F150

    Apple and oranges I’m sure. But my nephew has a ford ranger hybrid. Here in Kansas in the flatlands he says being a hybrid doesn’t really do much for fuel mileage on the highway. He took it on vacation in Colorado this summer. , where all that up and down keeps it charged. He said his fuel...

    Small Munsterlander

    I believe the city of Wichita passed an ordinance requiring dogs to be microchipped. I have one that is and one that isn’t. That’s pushing it too far.
