Agreed. Three dogs walked 9 miles and flushed two hens and a single rooster that got up a 80 yards. Worst I have ever hunted.

If you can’t get yourself out it’s best to knock on doors and see if somebody can get you yanked out.

As to road conditions especially in NWKS is: IF IT LOOKS BLACK TURN BACK. Find another way in or pass on the spot. One of my best spots is like that. Any moisture it turns to pure hell. Clothing is just like everybody has mentioned. Bring every combo and you’ll end up just wearing a...

I hunt pheasants at least 12 weekends per season and average 4 miles a day. Some easy walking some tough I walk mostly large CRP tracks just following the dogs. It is all public access. I will tell you that on Monday morning I'm pretty stiff and it takes a bit to get moving. Never hunt more...

Ran into the same thing. Very few birds. Most CRP had been hayed. Ran into a varying mix of cut and standing crops. The wind didn’t help either. Sign was sparse as well. Managed to put two roosters in the bag about 6 hours apart and separated by 60 road miles. Encountered a few...

She is not a Double TT. Reed is my last name. I just wanted all R’s in her name but the wife demanded the Foxy part.

That is why I hunt them. Once I think I’ve got them figured out, I’m wrong.

That was Saturday. CRP is where I find them. Limited out on Sunday as well. Huge covey flush of better than 20 birds..

Took a scouting ride into SW NE on Saturday to check out some of my opening day public ground haunts. I was greatly disappointed as 7 of my favorite spots were hayed or tilled. Standing corn, sourgum, and milo everywhere but little to no cover. Seems that quite a few of the properties were...

Reed’s Foxy Red Ruby.. Better know as Ruby with a limit of KS Prairie Chickens..

They’re not blues but took our limit of Sage Grouse Saturday morning. One very large covey, four shots, and finished before 7:30am. Kind of glad it was quick as it got hot early. Scrubbed a chance for a blue hunt. Never want to over heat a dog.

Good job Chessie. We got out for the 14th annual hill climb on Sept 1st. We covered about 5 miles and of course like usual got into two coveys 1/2 mile from the truck. I doubled on the first covey rise with a picked up spare on the second covey. My hunting partner did exactly the opposite.

I’ve had that problem as well with my Springer. I’ve noticed it seems to happen when he is wet. I’m assuming the charge is burning the skin when there is moisture involved. I try and use vibrate as much as possible but occasionally he need a gentle reminder.

I believe Sylmar makes something for rear leg protection.

Good video Kiva. Looks like the snow bunched the birds up. Glad to see you had some luck.

It is not an easy task this year. Birds have been wary and tough getting on close enough for a shot. I have some old footage I took years ago then tried working with the camera again last year. Either the birds were jumping in front of my partner or I forgot to turn it on. I just went back...

Kiva, Another great video. Sorry your GoPro died. Would have been neat to see some scalies crash on screen. Looks like you’ve found a good spot. Keep them coming.

Kansas has been good to us this year. We’ve seen a number of birds but mostly in pockets. Guided a friends 14yo son and helped him kill his first wild rooster. I owe a story or two to the forum.

Good video. Looks like you had a great day. Glad to see you weren't joined by any of the local buzz worms.

Another great video! Looks like your opener was a good one. I like seeing quail. I run into a few coveys a year but I just let them fly. Neat little bird.
