When I was in college - late 90s - I hunted a lot around Anderson (Garnett) and Allen (Iola) counties. By then, people had started to talk about there not being as many quail as there used to be, but for a kid from Wyoming it seemed like heaven. We routinely moved 7-10 coveys a day, sometimes...

With due respect to Kansas communities and farmers/ranchers, all of us have been pleading with them for years to recognize the damage they are doing to their land, their economies, and the future of their communities. It doesn't work in Kansas. I don't know why. But one could read "What's the...

I have finally accepted the repeated invitation to hunt some private land near the SD/ND border this fall. I have hunted every major pheasant state (and some not so major ones) except North Dakota. It's a long trip and ya gotta drive through some pretty good country to get there, so I am...
