Well that is a wrap on the 2022 season. Two buddies and I hunted out around Dodge today and not 50 yards from the truck in the first field we harvested a rooster and shortly thereafter another flushed wild, we thought okay, good start. Well, it all went downhill from there. Hunted till 2:30...

I would agree that it's down 25 to 40 percent. This season has been my worst season in 25 years of chasing birds. I try to get out every weekend for day trips, usually try different areas and none have been very good. Used to see 75-100 pheasants a day on average, now seeing 25-30 is good...

Nice photo and I like the looks of your box. In the market for a new one for myself. You happy with that one?

I agree with Miforester!

Lol, if you asked me that I'd punch you right in the nose! I shoot small eights and proud of every one of them. Ain't always about killing big deer, the more time I spend deer hunting, the less time I get to bird hunt.

Buy some birds and plant them for him, you don't have to tell him their planted birds either if you don't want to. Did that last year for my 12 year old and he had a blast, planning on doing it again this year after Christmas.

Blows my mind how blaze orange isn't required. There's been a time or two when hunting public that I've gotten pretty close to someone not knowing they were there cause they didn't have a lick or orange on.

I thought the same thing too last year. Hit NW Kansas in January, first time to that part of the state in a while. Seen maybe 3-5 birds each day the first two days, moved areas and did a little better. Was walking good looking walk-in and nothing. A buddy I was with was invited out the...

I agree Husker. Been hunting SW Kansas and South Dakota for 20 years now (South Dakota every other year) and in the early 00's I'd tell people that SW Kansas was just as good as South Dakota. Now with that being said, I was hunting private ground in Kansas and public in South Dakota. My...

Took two kids out today, had a few chances. Ended up putting one in the bag after a some misses. Seen some birds but not as many as last year (same spot). Looking forward to next weekend!

Hey Bob, I'll take the .243 Remington Core Lokt (both boxes). Thanks man, awful nice of you to help out. Will try to send you a PM here in a bit. Bryan

I have the exact same stickers on the back window of my truck, same spots too. Good luck this fall/winter. Will be heading up to SD to hunt public in about a month. Can hardly wait!

I went to the national gamebird convention in Orlando probably 15 years ago and heard a guy from Texas that runs a quail preserve talk about doing it this way and I liked the idea too. The quail stay relatively close to the area and they are very spooky when done like this. Funny thing is I...

Place your cage in some cover and prop open the door and let them walk out on their own. Then an hour or so later come back around and pick up your cages. I usually put anywhere from 3-6 in a cage so it kind of resembles a small covey. Has always worked well for us.

Sweet, I hadn't run across that sight yet. Thanks for sharing.

Looking at getting a new pheasant license plate for the front of the truck. I had a sweet looking, old school, Quail unlimited one until someone helped themselves to it. Been looking on-line and haven't really found one that catches my eye. Share 'em if you got 'em! Thanks

Will keep you in mind if we ever need another. Good luck this year.

KsHusker, you need to get to South Dakota! It is a pheasant hunter's paradise! Been going up there every other year (all public ground) for 15 years now and I love it! The bird numbers aren't what they used to be up there but everything it's still awesome! We usually go the end of October or...

Hey Preston, not sure about the post in 2016. We ran a couple surrogators for a year or two so that might have been a post about chicks for those things. In my mind we didn't have much success with them and the weekly maintenance drive (an hour one way) wasn't worth it. We ended up buying...

Not much action on the Kansas board, figured I'd post a neat story. My family owns some ground in SE Kansas (an area with no wild pheasants) and 3 years ago we released some pheasants. If I remember right it was around 7 or 8 roosters and maybe 5 hens. Seen a couple of the roosters around for...
