Shaping up to be my worst season ever. Not from lack of seeing quail but just from the lack of being able to shoot said quail. Seems everytime they fly out the other side -all of them! Quail hunting is best done in pairs. Spent two days at two different areas out west. One has become my new...

Hunted a well known public area yesterday afternoon. Just me and the labs. Put up 3-4 Roosters and maybe the same amount of hens most in one field. Have never seen that many birds in one trip to this place. Don't get me wrong we worked hard, very hard for them and I'm not going to be headed...

Got up late today. Went outside and washed down kennels,watered and fed my 3 pigeons and decided to go hit up a couple of my spots. First stop hadn't been hunted yet this year. Hunted the south part of the place and Obie pinned a huge, dumb covey of quail. Chased them one time then loaded...

Mine got poop canned with the weather forecast. I keep seeing different forecasts but each say rain. Some have the chances higher than others. Anyone see anything about weather a couple hours west of Topeka?

Hunted about 4 hours today and walked about 6 miles. 2 big covies and 1 small covey moved. Scenting conditions were horrible for the pointers. Obie who has a literal vacuum cleaner nose was struggling. Birds didn't want to hold well either. Skipping tomorrow and doing some winter prep...

Do you think an attempt to hunt sharptails in mid November over pointing dogs would be futile or do you think some would hold for a point this late in the season?

Forewarn you that I don't have any super top secret private ground loaded with chickens. I'm just going to hit up some WIHA in the smoky hills. Probably hunt sun up to when it gets to warm for the mutt. Have not decided if I'm going to stay out there and hunt Sunday or come home and head to...

I could have swore that last years down loadable WIHA map for the iPhone had the roads labeled. Is the one this year the same map as last years for the iPhone?

On the way home from the Strugis bike rally the wife and I rode 2 highway through the Sandhills back to Kansas. Probably the most beautiful ride we have ever been on! All the small lakes, endless rolling hills and very little traffic. It was a great place to clear the mind and also to let it...

Lets get on with the summer, get those chicks hatched and grown and onto some nice crisp fall days. Anyone else ready for some early chickens and opening day of upland season other than me? I just want to see some high tails on point! I just hope, hope, hope, we have a good nesting season...

Posting this here for us Kansas guys because I don't want to ship it. If I can't post this here mods I apologize and please move to appropriate forum. Down to the nitty gritty. Last fall I thought I wanted to dive into the side by side world and start out with a reasonably priced sxs. So I...

I actually saw more pheasants today turkey hunting than I did turkeys. Although that's not saying much. Seen several Phez and heard quite a few more cackling

Thought I would offer up my remaining pigeons from my flock, which is 7 birds to someone around here that may have a young pointing dog (or someone with an older dog). They are younger birds (couple years old). All are rollers but will home from a short distance. Never took them to far as my...

Took the Friday before off work and was planning on hunting my older pointer locally and then taking my younger one down South to a 1200 acre farm a friend owns that hadn't been quail hunted for years. Well, as it turned out the weather was forecasted to be crummy Saturday, which it was so I...

Monday just Milo and I went on an "old guys" only hunt. We hit up a couple of WIHA areas and had some pretty good luck. Found birds on both of them. Thought I would share a photo of him on a single from a covey he had pinned in a hedgrow. We were on the shady side of it and this is the...

Have a couple of questions if anyone has hunted down there recently like this year or last.

Ok I'll have to admit I am a secret admirer of setters. There I said it. I do have a question for you though. Do you guys trim their coats to help keep the burs etc out? What are some of the bigger running lines? What about red setters? Are there good lines? I kind of like the look of...

Got to bed at 1230 last night/this morning. Woke at 0430. Loaded 3 doz full body goose dekes, a dozen ducks along with a layout blind and drove an hour. Carried everything out, set up, corn stalked the blind up and settled in. Well the geese never showed and all I have to show for it some...

Looks like mr Obie may be out for the rest of the season with a cut ear. What's sucks is its not like a big cut. More like a scrape but gosh does it ever bleed. His head and left shoulder just covered in blood. Guess it will be just me and milo from here on out. Kind of like the old days...

Is that you I see in the photo Quail Forever posted on Facebook? Nice pictures.
