Ithaca 37 16 gauge with modified choke (sometimes IC). Fiocchi HV #5.

I believe John Browning originally recommended some heavy motor oil on the magazine tube. Could be mistaken... There probably weren't a lot of "gun" oils back then. Either way, it worked well.

Was in a bind once on a quail hunt in western Oklahoma… dads franchi al48 which is an A5 copy wasn’t cycling. Pulled the dip stick on my Tacoma and put a few drops of oil on the friction ring. Perfect. worked like a charm the rest of the weekend.

Crazy to think in early 80s Kansas harvested what SD does now with no type of walk in… think about that for a second.

That’s a can of worms too…….

Guy we hunted on in Edwards and Kiowa had his corners enrolled. Other than corners here and there, there isn't much CRP around. Most ground tilled right up to the gravel. No ditches for the most part.

That survey is rough.

in the 2000s four or five of us limited on WIHA opening weekend almost every year we went. Hunting that same general area the last five or six years, we managed to kill around 10 birds opening weekend. That's with four to five guys but hunting private CRP corners instead of WIHA. That area...

I’m 4.5 hours away and not messing with it.

We had private CRP corners and didn’t even bother last season. Landowner had seen one pheasant all year. This was Kiowa and Edwards counties. I can’t imagine it’s any better this year.

not good

Yea I think where we hunted they just always cut it off too short.

I've never seen wheat stubble that looked like good habitat to me. Always looked too short. We've always hunted that central area around Edwards and on up to Rush and over to maybe Hodgeman. Not saying there wasn't some around but I just never really noticed any that looked that good. We've...

Rough country. Hunted sandy sanders in fall of 16 and it was fantastic. Not as good as beaver the season before but very good.

Will do. Gonna go shoot some clays Sunday.

Just picked up a little CZ bobwhite lefty gun. Feels like a good fit.

Wasn't that the year Quail Forever advertised the place? I was there two weekends late in the season and saw trucks from all over the US. Ran into a guy from North Carolina that told me he was bored shooting so many birds.

The habitat just isn't there anymore even if the conditions do improve for recovery.

Yes they did. I didn't get out there until late January that season. I was easily done by 1:00 each day.

Wouldn’t have been a lot of breeding stock. I’d say another year of good weather and maybe a 2016 type recovery…
