I do quite a bit of goose/duck hunting. Goose meat is just like any other wild game, if it's inedible to you it's probably because it was handled poorly or cooked wrong. I've got a couple recipes that are good plus we make a lot of jerky out of ours. You'd have a hard time telling the...

I agree with your thoughts on Western Kansas. My wife grew up there and would never go back, but if it was up to me I'd love to live out there. My season was probably the worst I've had in 25 years of pheasant hunting. Made it out West 3 times, first 2 trips weren't very good, however this...

My buddies and I tried the NW part of the state this past weekend. Haven't hunted up there for 7 or 8 years but it's been such a struggle this year we decided to head back out there and give it a go. Man, tough hunting is an understatement! Maybe seen 10-12 pheasants in two days with 4 guys...

"Uppity", now that's funny! My dog wears a e-collar and I'm about as far from uppity as you'll find. Also, why

Nice pics and that is some good looking quail habitat! You have some very nice looking dogs too.

Just checking in to see how everyone's season is going? Don't need locations or even parts of the state. For me and the couple guys I hunt with it's been a struggle to put birds in the truck. We've hunted 5 days now and it's been the worst year I can remember. Usually we don't have many...

Great report! I've always ran shorthairs but I've been looking at trying a Setter and have spent the past few days doing some research on them. I really like the markings of yours, sure is a pretty dog. Didn't make it up to South Dakota this year, reading your report has me itching to head North!

SW Kansas (private ground) was pretty poor. Seen a few birds but it seemed like we were hunting January birds instead of Opening Weekend birds. All the birds harvested were older birds, prob seen 30-40 pheasants each day (poor compared to what it was last year). There were some quail around...

Have hunted behind two dogs from Atwood. Neither one points, one wants to fight all the time and the other just walks, doesn't hunt. Sample size is small and I'm sure they have put out some good dogs, but I agree you can do a lot better for your money.

I agree West. I've hunted behind a couple of them and I'm not impressed.

Took my 12 year old son and his best friend hunting yesterday. The first field was a long walk for the boys with only one hen being seen. About 50 yards from being back to the truck I was in the middle of thinking "well this hasn't gone as planned" when his friend stepped on a rooster!!! He...

Sent you a PM, or at least I think I did. Not real sure if I did it correctly! Thanks, Bryan

Hey, I'm interested. Let me talk to the wife when she gets home from work. Will get back in touch with you. Thanks, Bryan

Call me crazy but you guys can have hunting pheasants in the snow, it's not for me. I'd rather watch my dogs work running birds and follow along behind them. I don't enjoy trying to get around in the snow, makes things a mess. Now, I'm not turning down hunting in the snow, I just prefer to...

My 3 buddies and myself will hit some family ground in SW Kansas for the Opener. Haven't gotten many good reports from out there so may end up moving further North depending on what we see. The 4 of us have been hunting together for 20 years, always a good time regardless of birds killed. We...

Thanks for all the replies. About the time I've convinced myself to try something other than a shorthair, I talk myself out of it! But, getting old and would like to try other breeds before it's all said and done. If I change it'll be between a Brit and a Setter, don't think you can go wrong...

Hey guys, hope you are all doing well. I've been pheasant hunting 25 years now and have always ran Shorthairs. I've been tinkering around with the idea of trying something different and have been looking at Brittany's and English Setters. Am I crazy??? Give me your thoughts please. Still...

Have any of you guys ever been? It's been on my bucket list, I plan on crossing it off this summer! 3 buddies and I are going to make the trip this summer. We just started looking into it, all newbies so plenty of things to research/learn. Just curious if anyone had any info to share...

For the 3rd year in a row my 9 year old GSP has gotten something lodged in his nose. Happened Wednesday when we were hunting and he sneezed and sneezed trying to get it out. I thought he got it and then today he started sneezing again and I'm pretty sure it's still in there. The last two...

Hey guys, My 9 year old son asked Santa for a shotgun for Christmas, which made Daddy very happy! Anyways, looking for suggestions as I've never bought a youth model before. He's not the biggest 9 year old and he's pretty soft. Do I go with a 20 gauge or a 410? Single shot, pump or semi...
