We just finished a 3 day hunt. Definitely dry and chewing on dust. Thankful to see the rain as we drove out this morning. There are 4 of us that hunt 3 days every year in the same area. I don’t have the perspective from 20 years ago, but since 2012 I have seen some ups and downs but we have...

We are coming out to KS from Indiana next weekend for our annual trip(4 of us). We started hunting out there in 2012. For some reason we came back after a less than impressive hunt. Took some time but we figured it out between a mixture of WIHA and some land owners that are more than kind to...

I was able to get out on some land on the opener as well and was amazed at the numbers we saw. Probably 30+ birds.

Had a great trip to MT. No trip is without trouble and fortunately these are all funny stories now. My buddy has a young Brittany who we were unable to stop from biting a porcupine more than once and then proceeding to break stupid on a herd of pronghorn the following day(problems with the...

Headed out tomorrow afternoon for the 21 hour drive to Montana. First trip and very excited. Sounds like I might even squeeze in a Big Horn river trip. I’m a bird hunter traveling with a fly fisherman at heart and let him convince me a day on this river would be worth it. Really just can’t...

Have been planning a trip to Montana this October. Originally planned to drive the 20+ hours from Indiana with a buddy and our dogs. We now have a good connection in Bozeman/Livingston area and the discussion is more towards flying into Bozeman. Make more sense with the time we have. I want...

I am looking to head out to Montana for my first trip there as well this fall(from Indiana). After a first trip to Kansas in 2012, I am painfully aware of what a drought year or number of years can do for a trip, especially a first trip. That said I have hopefully matured a little in 10 years...

I came to Kansas for my first out of state trip back in 2012. I didn’t know to follow weather all year then and resulted in a slow first trip. Somehow even without many bird flushed at all, I was lured back, and now come back every year at least once. It is a great opportunity to go somewhere...

Great tip! I bought some this week and delivered yesterday. No M&Ms though. Amazing price on a great boot. I have a pair of Wetlands for 8 or 9 years and just got some tearing in the sides of them last year.

We spent a few days last week in mixed bag country. I would say last year the pheasants were doing better than this year, and quail were down last year compared to this year. We saw less pheasants in the field, but saw more birds along the road than usual. Could have been the warmer weather...

I have been able to bag a couple roosters in Indiana each year since I moved further north. This year I was fortunate to get an invite to check out some private land and had a hunt reminiscent of mixed bag hunts we experience in Kansas. I often do not pull the trigger on quail, but did shoot...

We are planning our 8th annual trip the first full week of December for 4 days. It is a 13 hour drive for us. We leave after work around 5:00. Get in around 4:00 a.m. Sleep for a couple of hours and wake for a usual beautiful sunrise and coffee. Our first trip was in 2012 and the hunting...

What kind of phones have you guys had good luck with? I am wanting to buy a cheaper smart phone to use with my unit. Have you stuck with the popular iPhones or Samsung’s? Thanks

Okay, Indiana. Has anyone been drawn for the ‘formerly APPLE’ upland land yet? Curious to see how this compares to the Pheasant Habitat Areas. I have been fortunate enough to hunt 3 Pheasant Properties in the last 20 year’s and always done well. I notice there are ‘south properties’ listed on...

Lookin forward to hear your report. I think I have talked myself out of an early season hunt and will head to ND for late October hunt in hopes that I will still see some prairie grouse, maybe a hun and for sure some pheasants. How is the grouse hunting in Nebraska later in the season?

Does anyone have encounters with rattlers or porcupines in early season hunting in the Sandhills? Have wanted to come out and try it, but my dogs are not snake trained.

A friend of mine lost his Brittany on Monday this week in the northern part of Rooks County close to Phillips County. His contact info is on her collar. Any help/ideas would be appreciated. His comment on birds in that area was like everyone else’s. Spotty and just keep moving around. Thanks

Me and a buddy from Indiana may be visiting a friend a for a late season weekend west of Fort Dodge to tag along pheasant hunting. I have always wanted to see some huns/gray partridge. I know they are on the decline out there, but what are the chances of bumping into a covey of Huns? Looks...

Wanted to share with everyone for the first time about a hunt myself and 3 other buddies came back from last weekend. Myself and one of those buddies have been wearing ourselves and our dogs out for a couple years in north central KS. We feel very blessed to have come across a land owner 3...
