    2021-2022 Kansas WIHA Maps for Garmin GPS Units

    That is an option but it is oh-so-much-easier to have the file on your automotive GPS. I've unfortunately had to work with arcgis over the years and have found it cumbersome and frustrating if you don't work with it everyday, but it may be our only option this year, unfortunately.

    2021-2022 Kansas WIHA Maps for Garmin GPS Units

    I tried their email "info" address and their "webmaster". Neither produced results so far. Please let me know if you have any luck with their help line. Hopefully it is someone with a Kansas accent that answers!

    2021-2022 Kansas WIHA Maps for Garmin GPS Units

    Over the years I have found the downloadable Kansas WIHA maps for my Garmin GPS invaluable. It sure beats driving around with the map booklet in your lap trying to figure out where you are! In past years Kansas has always made these files available in October. This year, less than a week before...

    How do you send a Private Message (PM) on this Forum?

    Thanks!! I wasn't sure if a "conversation" was the same as a "private message".

    How do you send a Private Message (PM) on this Forum?

    It is probably staring me right in the face, but I can't figure out how to send a PM to another member on this Forum. Anyone out there willing to help me?

    Hi. My wife and I will be in Goodland Kansas starting about November 20 and staying until we...

    Hi. My wife and I will be in Goodland Kansas starting about November 20 and staying until we give up - probably a month. We have two labs. Wife is also a photographer that likes to hunt with me (she doesn't hunt). We wouldn't mind driving up to Phillips County if you want to set something up. My...

    About time for a new lab

    Unfortunately our 10 year old lab is starting to have health problems. Though we also have a 5 year old, I've gotten very used to hunting with two dogs. That means starting the arduous and often frustrating process of finding a reputable Labrador breeder, which we seem to have to do about every...

    SD sources of Info

    With a little friendly conversation they often will give you general information that can be quite helpful, such as "...area was hit hard by hail this summer". They aren't going to tell you where to hunt, other than in generalities, but they can and often will provide information that will help...

    Hunting Colorado Chickens

    We have a friend that has a dog subject to severe seizures, sometimes multiple seizures in a day. She started the dog on a fairly high dose of CBD twice a day. The dog now has 3-4 very short seizures a year! I don't believe in miracles, but there is something to CBD being used for seizures and...

    BURRS !!

    Fork, metal comb, but nothing really works once they get wound into the hair except scissors. Have a friend that always ran springers. We wouldn't stay in the same motel room with him. His dog would chew burrs out during the night and leave a mine field on the carpet.

    Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks….not tourism

    In Colorado they added "Parks" to the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Many of us felt it was an attempt by the legislature to tap hunting/fishing license revenue for "Parks". Though it didn't turn out as bad as it could have, it still causes an accounting nightmare, which is compounded when you...

    Now this is the kind of hot-spotting that makes sense! Thanks. Will try next time we are through Pierre.

    Labs/Goldens size vs. endurance?

    I've hunted a Chessie in Alaska and labs in Alaska and the lower 48. For upland game, a good, light-mid weight lab from field stock can't be beat. I've tried the "british" style labs, and though they have great personalities, are easy to train and wonderful bird dogs, they tend to be too heavy...

    Lock and Load for ND!

    My first time to ND it took a week (or more) to figure out the lay of the land, where the birds were (and the people weren't). I hunt 100% public accessible lands, but in the end, we found good hunting and the following years the learning curve was much shorter. I've found this true everywhere I...

    Another vest question

    Mine does not. They have changed the design a bit. I'm still not sure the water bottle holders are that secure unless you can find bottles that fit with the pocket zipped closed. I just looked at their website and it reminded me that I removed the little pockets that the model has one of on his...

    Another vest question

    I have the LL Bean and it is a good, comfortable vest with adequate pockets. The only complaint I have about it is the water bottle pockets are too big/loose. Unless I pay attention, when I bend over the water bottles fall out. I run two labs so water is important. I've learned to be careful...

    transporting a pheasant

    Long ago a friend told me that if you keep water away from the bird, primarily the body cavity, after gutting, the bird will last a lot longer than if you rinse the bird after gutting. If you rinse it, you best be prepared to either freeze it or eat it in a few days as it will spoil. Rinsing...
