    If you could only pick one week...

    I'm planning on a public land hunt and have Oct 19 to 23, Nov 25 to 29 or Dec 10 to 14. The first is right after opening weekend so not too keen on that. The second is right after Thanksgiving which might not be bad. Then there is December. I did like the comment about doing December and...

    January hunt

    I’ve been following this thread ‘cause I’m planning on an end of Nov, first of Dec hunt. I was thinking of the Gettysburg area and then i saw some comments about the amount of public land in that area. I used ONX and downloaded the SD public lands for that county and didn’t see much in that...

    January hunt

    Golden Hour, Thanks for the clarification and heads up. I'm thinking about SD this year instead of KS. I'm looking at the area around Gettysburg as I have a lead on good lodging around there, Knowing no one there, I'm trying to make sense of the public hunting areas. I'll download the...

    January hunt

    Looking at ONX I see a lot of parcels that are labeled SD State Trust Land. Most just give some info and location but some will say, "leased to a person name". Question. Can you hunt State Trust Lands that are not leased out? Tom

    Best GoPro 8 settings

    I'll second 1080 and wide or ultrawide mode. I use 5 min loop mode to eliminate clips of just scenery. Also check out the "Sportsmans Mount" which allows you to mount the camera on your shotgun. I used it when I was spearfishing a lot in a past life but wouldn't dare put it on my shotgun and...

    Kansas on my mind

    I am looking forward to another bird season in Kansas. Heck, my dog gets excited if I just say Kansas :) Since I'm not optimistic about drawing a tag here in UT I'm thinking of trying to combine some bird hunting with a whitetail hunt in Nebraska. Still working on that idea. Tom

    First Kansas hunt

    Cowan, Here in SW Utah the only Pheasants are the one stocked. We're lucky to live right near the area they put them but I would not go out there the day after. We hunt the area midweek for the few leftovers. Quail have been all but nonexistent. Kansas may have been a bust this year but...

    First Kansas hunt

    Jim: I think there is a lot of truth in what you said. It was dry as a bone and the pups were creating quite the fuss running back and forth. Most of the flushes took place at the ends of structure when there was no where for the birds to go but up. The first day out there I hunted alone...

    First Kansas hunt

    westksbowhunt: The short answer is I just got back into bird hunting and the other guys had hunted there before. We all wished it had been more productive but It was a learning experience for me and the pup. I will absolutely consider other States for future hunts.

    First Kansas hunt

    Went on my first Pheasant hunting trip from SW Utah to Kansas last week. Hunted the Walk In fields around the Norton area from Tuesday to Saturday with a forced day off Wednesday due to 70 MPH + winds and rain. There were 4 of us and 6 dogs, 2 of which were seasoned hunters and the other pups...
