Tough start for me by Burlington. Just didn't seem to be that many birds around. Residual snow from last storm lasted half the day, and saw very few tracks even. Others I spoke to seemed similar results. Managed to scratch 1 out on 3 chances. Always good for exercise and good time with the...

Decided to finally give this a shot this year. My son is 8 and will be hunting pheasant with me for the first time this year. He does well, but miles and miles of walking like I usually do can be tougher on him, so hoped we could team up with a big group the and block. See if it works out...

So, we've all been there... walking a field, 120 yards from end, and birds start busting like crazy from the end of the field. (No blocker) Question is... do you find that some birds still will hold tight or stop before the end? Or do they pretty much all go together. Do you rush to the end...

Seeing the other thread and wia changes, has me revisiting this rooster roundup in Burlington idea. Anyone here try it? I don't usually prefer huge owning day crowds, which seems like a large focus of their event... but wondering how it would be for later on for a lone guy and his dog. Are...

Hey folks! Haven't been around the site for the past few years, but excited to get back out again. I've met some amazing people on this site over the time... On that note... I am thinking of heading down Saturday to the Walsh area and hit some of the WIA there for Pheasant and quail. Rumor...

Went up to SD at the end of Oct to pick up a new family member... Of course, it only made sense to add in a few days of hunting up there. Got 4 days of hunting in, all solo with me, my old lab Dallas, and my brand new 9 month old, "Allie"... Slowly worked my way from the northeast end on down...

Hello Northern Friends... I will be making the trek up from Colorado to Eastern SD (Hayti) to get a new family/hunting dog this weekend. I convinced the wife it would be the perfect time for me to carve out 4 days to hunt pheasants in SD for my first time. It will be just me most likely...

Random thought... And opinions on how taking tipsters affects future populations? Does it matter much? Or as long as there is a rooster or two around, will he do his duty with all the hens?

So my archery Whitetail deer season this year started same time as Pheasant. The first weekend I passed up 3 does and a tiny 2 point buck... I was drawn on the buck at 30 yards... thinking "If I shoot him, I am free to hunt pheasant for 4 days... but do I really want to hunt pheasant WIA for 4...

So, my Kansas trip died due to conditions... Still figure to go out... Might try Baca county. I'm not expecting much... Realize what to expect for numbers and conditions. Anyhow, anyone else interested in meeting up down that way? Not fully sure if I will be going but sounds like more fun...

So planning to head out for a hunt with my brother and my lab. Had planned to go to Yuma area, but with the snow down south, wondering if it would be worth trying down there (Walsh Area). I know the birds are more scarce there, but with just the two of us, wondering if they might be bunched up...

So forgive me for my pride... but it is for my dog, Dallas, not myself;) 4 years ago I bought a duck hunting lab from a kennel in Alabama. She proved to be a great hunting companion... if not a trial type dog. Trained her to sit at the blind, stay at me heel when walking, etc... Then about...

Hey folks... wondering if anyone here hunted the southeast portion of the state... in the Walsh area. I know the precip was very low... and I expect the bird numbers to be way down... but wondering if they are so low that it is pointless to even hunt. Any general reports? If I can find good...

Heading out to the WIA fields near Walsh with a few family, friends and dogs this Thurs and Fri. Would be interested in teaming up with another person or group for some or all of the time to hit some of the bigger sections a little better. If anyone is interested... let me know or send me a pm!

Ok, so say it is late December and you and and a buddy and a few dogs are headed out to the field... Mother nature calls you and says for Christmas, she will give you any weather you want for your trip. What would you want? :)

I'm planning to buy a Kansas license this year and check it out because I usually hunt right on the border. Anyone know how the laws are regarding bag limits? Meaning, if I did shoot three birds in CO (that is a BIG IF:p ) and I go to KS, can I just shoot one more? Or, if I am in KS and...

Wondering if anyone is out there in Pueblo/Springs area that can hunt random weekdays during the season. I am a teacher at an online school so I can get out any day(s) I choose... Would like to get out, prob to the Southeastern WIA several times during the year, esp when the weather looks...

So, just wondering on opinions out there... now that WIA is free, how do you all think will things change? (Particularly, a: will there be more hunters? and b: will there be less money and therefore, fewer properties in this or future years?) Just thought it is a good discussion thread to get...

I am tying to get away to hunt Yuma on the First of January. I have access to quite a bit of private land through a hunt club. I have a lab I hunt with that does ok, but not she is more of a duck dog. Would like to meet up with other guys... so far 95% of the ones I have met in forums have...

Ok, so I have always been a huge hunter, but have just gotten pretty serious about pheasants the past couple years, so I am still learning. Is the current weather report (Highs 35-42, 30-50% chance of light snow, 5-10 mph wind) good or bad for pheasant hunting? Any specific strategies for...
