    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    I had a pair back in the day as well. I've become a big fan of their Outback boot. I think Rocky has come out with an upland specific boot as well.

    Hunt Clubs in IL

    I live near Richmond, IL and there is a real nice hunt club there. However, I don't believe they offer Turkey hunting. If you're into the larger game you'll need to take the advice of the one poster to go lease up some ground from a farmer.

    How's the season so far?

    Just got back last night from 4 days on the ground. We waited until 9-9:30 to get into the field and even then early in the week when it was cold an snow on the ground, the first field didn't produce until later. I'll post a few photo. Found more pheasant than quail.

    Alpha 200.

    There is a Garmin Alpha group on facebook that has many users and their feedback/impressions by the various users will give you a good sense. New product that will get better over time. I'm sticking with my Alpha 100's for now.

    Where's the ammo?

    I'm not sure the cause.....Covid or fear around the election outcome. cannot imagine it being anything other than those two things.

    Missouri Opener

    Talked to a few of my buds who have been taking advantage of the weather (or not) before I get back to MO. They're top notch bird finders finding 3-4 coveys per day. If you'e close to a decent shot, that means getting into many opportunities to harvest a limit. Covey size good. Look forward...

    Missouri Opener

    Headed back to MO for the opener and 6-7 days of bird hunting before deer season. Will then pick things back up in MO around Thanksgiving. Will give Kansas a go after their deer season as well. 3 high power pointers ready to go. Looking forward to hearing/seeing from others.

    OnX

    I think its a really good product. They're introducing a 3D feature that looks to bring an even lower elevation clarity to the properties. Works great laptop, pad or phone.

    Introduction and Beginner Questions

    I always give several of the public lands time and always seem to find birds. You'll need to work for them, but they're there. Quail emphasis areas they really do provide the a better overall balance to retain birds

    New 2020-2021 WIHA map is out

    That is a question that I have to admit I struggle with a lot; CRP harvesting when things get dry. There are a lot of hay farmers with hay for sale and I'm not sure they always have the same market protections as grain farmers in the same market conditions.

    How are things shaping up for the hatch?

    27 by my count in the one photo, not including the male. That qualifies as a gigantic covey in my book. Kansas have far more than Missouri large coveys, but 25-30 bird coveys are the exception in either state. Far fewer in Missouri for sure. Awesome to see. Thanks for sharing.
