I exclusively shoot 16 ga for upland hunting, never had trouble getting shells here in KC, until last year Rogers always had them on the shelf, Cabelas too. I have never hoarded or panic bought, but I do tend to buy in bulk when they are on sale, so I generally have at least one season’s worth...

Rarely does a semi-auto interest me, especially in the uplands, but Browning finally got that one right.

I’m sincerely sorry to hear that. Must be disappointing for a farmer and hunter. Unfortunately Kansas has for far too long relied almost exclusively on weather to save it’s pheasant population, in the face of the fact that Kansas, which has the most extreme weather of any state in the real...

Didn't know that. Knew that a half a million pen raised birds get imported to SoDak. So the GF&P numbers do not include any pay-to-play operations that are required to release one-for-one?

Half it and you've got a pretty good approximation of South Dakota's actual figures for wild birds.

Take a drive through Iowa and now Kansas for your answer.

I've hunted with a couple of the rarer breeds. Generally, they seem to be for people who are more interested in differentiating themselves through dog ownership and less interested in effective hunting. Nothing at all wrong with that, or with prioritizing certain aspects of a hunt more than...

For that price you can get a good new Browning or Beretta, and that's what you ought to do. Both are widely available for you to pick up, look over and shoulder. I'd get a 20 ga, I think a 12 ga is just about totally unnecessary in upland hunting, but it does have the advantage of being more...

My thoughts are numbers will not be up. Year over year the habitat loss to poorly regulated industrial agriculture overruns any conservation work done by the KDWP and there are not enough “good” weather years for birds to mount a come back in the limited habitat available to counteract the bad...

Oh great, another forum infected with COVID-19 politics.

Just saw it and replied. The amount of time I spend on this forum drops off a little in the down season.

Thanks for being the adult in the room. Well said.

I never claimed to be a tough guy, that was KSnative's 4th or 5th weak ad hominem attack since he's flailing for some kind of argument in the river of his own ignorance.

Far from advocating the status quo: I have, here and elsewhere, repeatedly advocated for very drastic changes to Kansas's (my native state, where I own property, pay taxes, and a place for which I have a deep and abiding emotional attachment to based, in part, on the fact that my family has...

KSnative also said: "In any event, that must be some of that new government math you are applying. Missouri is a bit over 80k square miles; KS, a hair under 70k square miles." Also KSnative again: "I value accuracy". Give me a break. You are way over your head and pretty clearly don't have a...

Alternately, you know, the truth: “Apportionment Formulas In addition to eligible uses and funding sources, Congress may consider amending Pittman- Robertson’s apportionment structure. Currently, states and territories are treated differently under the program; states are apportioned funds...

PR fund allocations aren’t based on “tags”, they are based on hunting licenses sold, population and landmass. Because it’s geographically larger, Kansas gets a higher percentage of P-R funds per person than Missouri (and other more densely populated states), which has twice as many residents and...

PR funds are allocated based on formulas drawn from license sales (I don't believe that includes tags, permits and stamps), population and acreage. It's acreage is obviously not going to change, but it's population is not growing at the rate of most of America and it's resident license sales...

Twice as many people hunt Missouri as Kansas each year. That and acreage is what PR funds are distributed based on, if I recall correctly.

You're the one who asked the question. If you already have an answer you like to tell yourself, maybe don't post it.
