They will show the crowing and brood counts. Mid sep is a good time to look.

You guys had any of those insane late spring blizzards? Hopes not. Thanks for the updates!

Start getting the dog used to them now. Just a few minutes at a time. Baby socks work well just to train with. Put them on all four feet , then let the dog high step around the yard. They will get used to them. A friend of mine uses vet wrap. Literally runs it for each hunt then replaces it...

Thanks for the reply and info. I find it fascinating how just a few miles can make a difference there. For instance , a few years ago we hunted on some private ground a friend has there. The part we hunted had an excellent harvest. A piece the same guy owns 4 miles to the north had been...

gjw , curious what part of the state you are in? I hunt in the Jamestown area. Thanks for the report.

good mindset

Saddle up and go , Hunted Kansas for 14 straight years. Went to Nebraska last year , was a bust but had a blast. The thing about quail is , it only takes that 1 really good covey to make a trip fun. Hit some local eats and bars. Meet some people. We hunted there when it was the worst years ever...

Good looking dogs! Was that Western ND?

When I was an Iron Worker , your lunch box was referred to as a '' Dinner Bucket '' And the mid day meal was Dinner]. Only place down here Ive ever heard that!!

Man , it was really dry when I was up there. My farming friends were all saying moisture was needed but not like that.

Saw a lot of younger birds up there just last week. Hope they pull through. Cover was really thick and tall so maybe it will help cut down on mortality?

Just got back from Central ND. Lots of sharpies. More huns than I've seen in the past. Did pretty good on Pheasants. Lots of hens. We shot some young roosters , Im pretty sure we miss identified some as hens and didn't shoot. What cover was left where we hunted was thick and tough to walk...

Most all the crops were off east of Bismarck and West of Jamestown.

Good problem I suppose...

Ive heard worse reports! I bet since the e posting of private lands has started , the public ground is gonna get hammered. Im not a very experienced hun hunter. Ive killed 1 in Wyoming , seen 1 covey in Montana , and two coveys in ND in my life. Wonder what has changed or improved to boost the...

Tennessee. Tomoka line but he died back in march. Was 15. I have a liver GSP female now. I had the first sharp tailed grouse I ever killed mounted , it was early and the feathers are really thin. Lots have fallen out on the head and neck.

Have camped for sage grouse in Wyoming a couple of times. Camped our way around eastern Montana for 5 days for pheasants and sharpies. Tent camping is good from a make your own location standpoint. It gets tough if you are picking up and moving every day. If you tent camp , invest in a good...

Ive hunted quite a bit south of there for years. It is tragic. Do they think one guy shot the farmer in the combine then killed the other two and himself?

I was a wildlife major in college , I remember the day a professor talked about the Himalayan Snowcock. They have been on my dream / bucket list ever since. Did you mount the one you shot?

No , you are spot on with cover = nesting and brood success. There are lots of factors but the thicker cover makes it more difficult for nest predators to find eggs. It makes it easier for broods to escape sky predators and land predators. It also crates better habitat for insects such as grass...
