Very nice , looks like weather is still mild up there , did the birds run quite a bit on Bree ?

If our friends from Iowa could confirm this , I believe they had a very big CRP campaign to benefit Monarch Butterfly’s and other pollinators which in turn was a significant uptick in bird numbers . Iowa DNR has a formula when there is a drier spring under some many inches of rain and snowfall...

Wow limit by 10:30 that sounds like quite a hunt , glad to here the birds numbers are good up your way . Look forward to seeing your success this season .

Now that’s a fun and quick hunt !!! How old is your GSP ? Make or female ?

In the early 80 s I was hunting around a small pond that had some brush and cattails, my Brittany points a pheasant , I drop him in the water at the shot a teal gets up down he goes , and them he points a covey of Quail gets up I drop one over the water , all three retrieved to hand by my Britt...

Tom , Thanks for sharing your trip with us , sounds like the area of the state you hunted was less affected by the drought than in the west part of the State .

Impressive piece of habitat success , I will look into CP38 here in KS

Remy what year are you in your CRP contract ? Seems like the first 5 years can be really good then it will loose its plant diversity, unless it’s managed which I net you are keeping a good eye on . Your numbers speak well of what you are doing with your pheasant habitat .

Practice some before you go , shoot the gun that breaks clays the best , put the shot on the front end of the bird with a load of 5’ or 6s in the 1 ounce to 1 1/4 load and you are good to go , Like what was rated above bring a back up gun , I had this save an out of state trip for me .

Glad to hear you are having a good time , 4 coveys is a pretty decent day and moving some Pheasants hard to beat !!!!

I say you don’t know if you don’t go !!! I wish their pheasant season extended to the end of January, interesting that their Quail season does but pheasant doesn’t. I may try a trip up that way before the end of the season , let us know about your success!!!

My Brittany was actually the only Brittany on the hunt and , now the Ks Brittman now owns a Shorthair she is the black dog in last picture , she is still learning the game but did well on this hunt .

Most of my hunting in Kansas is a combination hunt pheasant and Quail , yesterday we would head to the Flint Hills of Kansas and hunt brushy fence lines and draws for the Bobwhite Quail . We had a blast for hunting this cover type and for a bird that holds better than Pheasants . In a bit over a...

Nice Remy , love hearing about your hunts !!!

Looks like about 170 pellets in lead 5’s and 155 #4 Bismuth that an ounce it each

I bought a case of #4 1 ounce 3 inch 20 ga Kent Bismuth and , I have found that it hits similar to lead 5’s , I have tripled on geese , mallards and had very good results on Roosters . Pellet count should be close to lead 5’s because Bismuth is a bit lighter .

Welcome aboard Blue Sky , congratulations on your hunt !!! Love to see a picture or two of your hunt .

I have always liked a large stand of native grass / CRP about its second or third year after be planted . Good mix of grass and weeds , work edges that are close to crops , put a good pointing dog into the wind and let them / there nose let you know where the birds are .

I would also suggest the Benelli M-2 , weight , ergonomics, reliability.
