    It Looks Grim

    Less WIHA focused on better habitat is an excellent jumping off point. I know I've thought for a while that they should expand iWIHA and limit the amount of daily hunters based on carrying capacity of the property, then charge a fee for iWIHA access, similar to what Minnesota does, with an...

    It Looks Grim

    Again, we largely agree. What I'm trying to tell you, is that I do know how that happens. It's literally what I do for a living. And I do it with a much, much worse state government than the one in Kansas. I can assure you, brow-beating the conservation agency for not putting out a really bad...

    Yeah, you're right. "OOSers deer hunters killed all the pheasants!" is just some of that midwestern, common sense, straight talk.

    Cool, now, don't read theirs and quit your crying. Problem solved. With the time you save, you can build a time machine back to 1995, when there was "no problem" with Kansas hunting...

    I mean, you are kind of right. But, who elected the governors and reps and senators in Kansas? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSers?

    It Looks Grim

    Do I think WIHA could be better managed, from here in the same armchair I sat in second guessing Andy Reid's playcalling for 8 years? Yes. But that doesn't make it a conspiracy. Nor does wanting people to come to Kansas to hunt. That's just what normal places do. Also, residents hunt WIHAs, and...

    All of what you are saying makes sense, re: ditch mowing, etc. But KDWP doesn't have the ability to regulate ag practices in Kansas. If you think ditch mowing prohibitions "ruffled some feathers" in moderate, polite and comparatively sane rural Minnesota, the shrieking temper tantrums such a...

    Suggestions on a lighter gun

    I've purchased several guns online, including from Reed's, and while I'm hesitant about used guns, the only reason I'd care to see a new gun before purchase is if I cared about the wood. That said, I've taken a risk on 2 citoris I bought new online and wound up with nice wood on both. I bet you...

    Suggestions on a lighter gun

    The (carbon) rib on my SBEIII sure does. I don't really care, because I think ribs are stupid, but I also don't want it to fall off.

    Blaming the KDWP for the freefall of Kansas pheasant numbers is like blaming your doctor for finding cancer in your body.

    Water retrieve on a rooster

    I've got a couple under my belt, and a wet pheasant is not one of nature's most magnificent spectacles.

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Well, obviously it is a pipe dream. We don't really do big ideas anymore. But if the alternative is just to continue the current system of sharecropping on land owned by large mutli-national agri-industrial conglomerates in order to grow food for cows, who then turn that food into a gas that...

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Kansas still hasn’t recovered from the 2012 drought. Kansas pheasant hunting will not recover from another similar year in my lifetime.

    Your favorite pheasant O/U

    My go-to is a 16 ga Citori white lightning with 28” tubes. I bought a 16 ga Citori Superlight (not feather) with an English stock and 26” tubes and while I think it looks better, I did not end up liking how it carried as much as the round knob. I’ve got a 20 ga Beretta with a classic pistol grip...

    New A5 Sweet Sixteen review.

    I think it’s cause the receiver is about 26” long by itself.
