Can't believe its less than a month and the season will be a recent memory. It sounds as though everyone is having a pretty good season thus far. I've missed two weekends which is two more than I intended to. It's been a memorable season so far.

After a couple of days scouting/hunting in the NE ks area I came across more fields of just plain corn, beans (disked) or winter wheat ground that could not actually hold a bird let alone a deer. One was literally a pasture grazed down to the dirt. I took photos of of so that maybe some day...

When I was in highschool my buddies and I hunted around Seneca. Used to be that there was some nice cover there and a fair amount of birds. The starlight motel would be pretty full of hunters opening weekend. Went up and hunted a couple of spots today and looked around some. Mostly...

I know from time to time people look for free puppies. The helping hands human society has 6 -2 month old females. This is in topeka by the way.

This past weekend I ended up crappie fishing (Saturday) instead of hunting then went to a Christmas party that evening. Sunday I had some things to do around the house. Was kind of bummed I didn't get to hunt yet another weekend. Got plans this weekend to get the pointers out one day and...

Didn't get out this past weekend. Hoping to get a little hunt in before the retriever clubs Xmas party Saturday evening. If not I will for sure be out Sunday! I'm hoping that is the only weekend I don't get to go this year barring any sickness like I had last year where I missed 8 of the 10...

Fellow forum member, onlyapointer and I met up today for a little quail hunt locally and not only did we have good conversation but also got into a few birds. Even though our shooting was sub par we ended up just a couple short of 2 limits. First spot we turned the pointers loose on obie...

I know some of you guys probably travel around NE KS quite a bit so I thought I would put this out there. I've been keeping my eyes open for a bright red, fiberglass topper for my 07 Chevy Classic, extended cab P/U. 6.5' bed. I don't/can't pay an arm and a leg for it but would still like...

Found a whole bunch of mallards Friday while out quail hunting. So I went back yesterday morning before the sun came up and set out and shot a limit of mallards plus one nice greenwing drake. Done by 9 AM and back home shortly after with birds cleaned and the TV on. Fell asleep shortly after...

Hunted my oldest pointer in the cherry spot and didn't come up with one bird. Nothing. Second spot I let Obie out with the cabelas store around his neck (garmin, ecollar and name tag collar). I didn't try to reel him in right away since he had been in the box for a while. This spot was my...

Headed back out in the morning to see if I have better luck connecting with some of those buzz bombs. Running that dang Obie with an ecollar to help keep him reeled in. Thought perhaps we were over needing that all together. I am hoping if I get some birds killed over him the next few times...

Today I saw more quail than I ever have on a hunt. Probably 8 covies in 4 hours. Really lost count. Big covies too. Also witnessed the poorest display of shooting by anyone in my entire life. Me!! This new side by side will be put away. Now on another note. I let bob out first and he...

Weather man sure has backed off the snow accumulations. 1-2 now I think. That's good though cause now I will head south and quail hunt. Didnt really wanna drive in snow too far.

The wife suffered a pretty good dog bite to her left hand this evening. Got a call at work from her saying that Milo, my oldest EP bit her. Now Milo may lick you to death and biting someone is really not in his little doggy vocabulary. Every day, twice a day the dogs get out to run. Before I...

WIHA regs say no commercial or non commercial dog training allowed and hunting of species only in season allowed. I suppose that scouting a WIHA with a dog would be considered non commercial dog training? Anyone ever inquire about this?

Decided to take my oldest pointer, "Milo" on, as Setternut would say "a quail inspection" to an area I can run dogs but not hunt. I haven't seen quail in this area for, well, never have. At least until this evening when Milo stuck a covey of about 15 birds. These were young birds and acted...

I read that in Reading KS the KDWP will be hosting a quail habitat seminar complete with a dinner and everything on the 21st. I can't remember all the details but you need to call a number to rsvp. Anyone have anymore info on this??

This early season chicken hunting is beginning to really capture my interest. I guess it may be the challenge that it offers and also the fact that I love grass lands. One day last week I was reading online a very old article from the Salina newspaper, may have been written in the late 1800's...

Still a few weeks away from the regular upland season and I don't know if i can take the extra wait. So, I think tomorrow I'll go back out with Bob and my older pointer to see what kind of trouble we can get into. Headed back to where I started the season at. Hope the cattle are gone as I...

Went out to a huge wiha west of here. Pulled up and there was two trucks on it. Went and checked out some quail hunting spots waiting for these guys to leave. Couple hours later they are gone and I put down bob and Obie. Mile from the truck bob is on point Obie comes in and backs. Knew it...
