Witnessed a comical incident at the motel last evening in Mitchell South Dakota. I was driving down from North Dakota and stopped there for the evening about 8 or so. I had Raven up on the tailgate to brush her out and feed her and noticed a young group of hunters that were unloading their truck...

Ever hunted pheasants in a mosquito swarm? Holy West Nile Batman they were thick in my eyes, nose, mouth and covering my arms and hands. It was ridiculous but luckily after the first day it got cooler and the wind picked up. Here are a few highlights of a week in North Dakota. My original plan...

My work always slows in front of a presidential election. People are uneasy and want to hold onto their money. So I decided what the heck might as well take a trip so I took off at 5am last Sunday and drove to Kenmare North Dakota. Left at 5am and reached the Motel around 830 Sunday night. My...

Had an appointment up north with a customer and figured I would throw the dog in the truck and hit a couple small spots a family member owns up north of topeka a half hr or so. He doesn’t bird hunt but doesn’t want it disturbed till after deer season. Usually good for a rooster or two if I’m...

Pheasant stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeño Jam wrapped with thick applewood bacon. Homemade crab stuffed mushrooms with real crab. Pretty good meal to watch KU smack MU.

Over the years I have spent many a night in a hotel while hunting. While I try not to trash the rooms, after 3-4 days of hunting they can get pretty dirty between boots and dogs. The motel this last week was pretty full. I saw a couple dogs pee on the carpet in the hallway, I can’t imagine what...

I returned from a few days in SD . It was a spur of the moment deal with my oldest son. I broke a toe about 8 weeks ago and he wanted to get back into hunting after an 8 year hiatus getting a masters degree and starting a career/ family. I was finally feeling a bit better and thought I would...

So BrownDogs had mentioned to me that he was planning to go to South Dakota and wanted to know if I wanted him to pick me up on his way north. Well my wife had put the kabosh on most any trip in December due to kids college graduation and party along with other family obligations. So I secured...

So back on April 1st I had to part ways with my awesome hunting partner. My sister-in-law, knowing how devastated I was with this occurrence commissioned a local artist to do an oil painting of him. You will notice the notch out of his tongue. He bit through it while hunting one time. I took him...

IMG_2101.MOV https://forum.ultimatepheasanthunting.com/media/img_2101-mov.31/ Raven is at the end of gun acclimation. Starting to shoot quail over her now. She has a great deal of drive and is really responding to training. After hunting with flushing labs the last probably thirty years I...

Unfortunately we had to put my Lab Buddy to rest this morning. It was a hard but right decision to make. We made him a warm bath last night and my daughter went and got him a bacon cheeseburger and ice cream for dinner. I have been a mess today as I knew this would be tough. All the time we...

So I grew up with English Pointers as my dad raised, trained and hunted them. We always had four or five and often had puppies. I too hunted with them till I was near 30 when I started going to South Dakota and hunted with some Labs that were awesome. Honestly being from Kansas I had only hunted...

So just returned from 5 days in SD and this is what I found Lots of crops still in the field combined with warm temps made for some tough hunting. Hunted one day public and road ditches up around Gettysburg with limited success. Walked some awesome looking ditches really only had one shot all...

)Back at work this morning after a couple days out hunting Pheasants in Kansas. My two son's and a neighbor kid headed out Monday afternoon to meet up with with BrownDogsCan2 to hunt. After surviving the 6 hr drive with three boys eating junk food and soda and a near miss head on collision from...

OK guys, my two boys and I are going to head out for a little public hunting the Tuesday-Wednesday after Christmas. I was wondering if anyone was headed out and might want to hook up for a day. I have to admit I am fairly uneducated on WIHA in Kansas even though I live here. I have access to...

Sitting here watching MNF after spending a few days hunting in the cold and snow of South Dakota. Thought I would share a few observations of my annual December trip. # 1 The bird numbers are certainly down in the area I hunt. Typically we would see at least one flush in the 2-300 range. The...

Looking for a couple guys to fill out a hunt in October in South Dakota. My group has gotten a little smaller because of life issues. I have access to some great private ground in SD. I have hunted this farm for years. I enjoy meeting and hunting with other people. I only need two guys as I like...

So I was traveling up 5 hwy the back way into leavenworth today and about ran the truck off the road. Along the north side of 5 hwy I see two cocks standing next to some cut corn. They were good looking long tails. I stopped and tried to take a picture but they were having none of it. Over the...
