    Let's talk cattail strategies

    This year I'd say move through them however you can. Never seen anything like it. Over my head and unable to get to my dog in most cases. The ones we were around and in required a deer trail for most part to move through. Many areas were physically impossible to move through.

    North Central South Dakota Report 11/20 - 11/24

    We lost a few in the cattails today. Insane how thick they are. Nothing like last year. Head high in lots of places. Lots of birds though. It was difficult getting my dog to me. Don’t think he was being stubborn. Just had trouble finding me when I needed him to hunt dead. We would’ve...

    Don't take the back roads if it rains. No base on most of them.

    The foot traps aren’t bad especially if you have a second person.

    Remote bird Launcher

    We bought some quail a few weeks ago and it was cartoonish. One popped up in the air and fell straight back down. Almost worthless. Pigeons are great because they're up and away and fly high and strong. Can't believe in all my years of messing with pointing dogs I have just now started using...

    Remote bird Launcher

    New pup this year. First time using launchers. I have two of the DT launchers. Work great and yes it does help with training. I also started using homing pigeons. They're second to none as far as birds go. Launch a few birds in a session and they're back inside the loft shortly.

    Rain

    Man that will make for a tough opener on those Kansas roads. Worst situation I’ve ever found myself in a vehicle. Never again.

    And thus it begins

    I tend to like more traditional bird dog colors but was in the market for a pup and he was the only one left in the litter. He is going to make a very fine dog. Very happy with my pick.

    And thus it begins

    Go get em! I like the dog. I have an 11 month old all black GSP as well! His first season. Wondering how long it will take to hear someone ask what happened to my lab's tail.

    Help on a special kind of wild pheasant.

    or if you're a fisherman down this direction like the difference between a "Mississippi White" catfish and blue catfish.

    any advice on how to scout WIHI remotely using technology?

    I was griping about WIHA habitat back in 2008….how far we’ve come.

    Non Toxic requirements

    No assumptions here. Just would hate to drive by a great looking spot and not be able to hunt it. We hunted mostly CREP and WIA last year but hit one WPA that was loaded. And I'll for sure use lead where allowed.

    Opening weekend in KS will be busy even though it isn’t a pheasant destination anymore.

    Roadside Survey is Out

    The state forecast and the Pheasants Forever forecast don’t seem to jive…. Having said that I know someone northeast of dodge a ways and they are seeing more than they have in a few years. But that’s up from next to nothing two years ago.

    any advice on how to scout WIHI remotely using technology?

    OnX works pretty well for Kansas. Not sure you'd be able to tell what kind of habitat it has though. Boots on the ground is about the best way and miles in the truck. In all seriousness though, if I were driving from NC I wouldn't be going to KS.
