For the first time in 25 years I did not head West for the opener. With the temps and the wind I decided to wait a week or two to head out. Deer hunted Saturday wishing I was bird hunting. I did head out around the house Sunday morning and fought the wind for 3-4 hours and put one rooster in...

Contemplating selling my two hole diamond plate box. Bought it two years ago from a member here but I haven't used it much since my hunting buddy also got one and his is a little lighter. It has top storage and is in great condition. It's a Houndsmen Deluxe and is 40 inches deep, 46 wide and...

Normally I'm a pheasant guy, nothing like the rush of a rooster pheasant! But, yesterday I went on the best quail hunt I've ever been on, moved 10 coveys in a half day. The coveys were big and the dogs were into birds for pretty much 5 hours straight. Our shooting wasn't good and we didn't...

So I got myself a new pup and the little guy won't eat much when we're on the road hunting. Never had this issue before so looking for suggestions. Normally I'd give him some canned food mixed in with the dry but he's an indoor dog (my first indoor bird dog) and I don't want to upset his...

I've always owned shorthairs, decided to try something different and got myself a Brittany pup (great dog so far). Been getting him ready for the upcoming season and messing with stickers in a dog's coat is something new to me. Any tips or tricks? I really wanna trim him up but convincing the...

Hey guys, You know of anyone raising quail (around Wichita area)? Need some for my pup. Thanks

Any of you guys finding any crappie on the banks yet? Was at El Dorado last weekend, pretty slow. Planning on heading out fishing/camping somewhere this next weekend. Thinking about trying Elk City, had good fishing there 2-3 years ago. Bryan

Looking to purchase one. Any of you guys know anywhere in Kansas that sells them or have any recommendations? Be interested in a used one if any of you guys are looking to get rid of one. Thanks, Bryan

Hey guys, just returned from South Dakota yesterday. I shot a banded rooster on Saturday, first time ever harvesting one with a band. Haven't had time to call the number yet. Any of you guys know anything about these bands? Thanks, I love SD and can't wait to get back!

Just got done reading a thread on Bowsite titled "Moved for better hunting opps". Any of you Kansas guys change communities for better fishing and hunting opps? My wife and I are in our mid 40's and live in Mulvane. Our kids will be out of the house in 5 years and we will be looking to...

Looking at getting a new pheasant license plate for the front of the truck. I had a sweet looking, old school, Quail unlimited one until someone helped themselves to it. Been looking on-line and haven't really found one that catches my eye. Share 'em if you got 'em! Thanks

Not much action on the Kansas board, figured I'd post a neat story. My family owns some ground in SE Kansas (an area with no wild pheasants) and 3 years ago we released some pheasants. If I remember right it was around 7 or 8 roosters and maybe 5 hens. Seen a couple of the roosters around for...

My buddies and I tried the NW part of the state this past weekend. Haven't hunted up there for 7 or 8 years but it's been such a struggle this year we decided to head back out there and give it a go. Man, tough hunting is an understatement! Maybe seen 10-12 pheasants in two days with 4 guys...

Just checking in to see how everyone's season is going? Don't need locations or even parts of the state. For me and the couple guys I hunt with it's been a struggle to put birds in the truck. We've hunted 5 days now and it's been the worst year I can remember. Usually we don't have many...

Took my 12 year old son and his best friend hunting yesterday. The first field was a long walk for the boys with only one hen being seen. About 50 yards from being back to the truck I was in the middle of thinking "well this hasn't gone as planned" when his friend stepped on a rooster!!! He...

Hey guys, hope you are all doing well. I've been pheasant hunting 25 years now and have always ran Shorthairs. I've been tinkering around with the idea of trying something different and have been looking at Brittany's and English Setters. Am I crazy??? Give me your thoughts please. Still...

Have any of you guys ever been? It's been on my bucket list, I plan on crossing it off this summer! 3 buddies and I are going to make the trip this summer. We just started looking into it, all newbies so plenty of things to research/learn. Just curious if anyone had any info to share...

For the 3rd year in a row my 9 year old GSP has gotten something lodged in his nose. Happened Wednesday when we were hunting and he sneezed and sneezed trying to get it out. I thought he got it and then today he started sneezing again and I'm pretty sure it's still in there. The last two...

Hey guys, My 9 year old son asked Santa for a shotgun for Christmas, which made Daddy very happy! Anyways, looking for suggestions as I've never bought a youth model before. He's not the biggest 9 year old and he's pretty soft. Do I go with a 20 gauge or a 410? Single shot, pump or semi...

Hey guys, I have a 8 month old shorthair I need some help with. My first two dogs I never really had an issue with them jumping up on people, but this pup is driving me nuts with it. He's gotten better with me (still slips up when he's really excited) but with my kids it's every time they are...
