I am patterning different shotgun shells and I was wondering if anyone knew what an effective shot density would be for pheasant. I guess shot size and type are factors. I currently looking at #4 bismuth and #5 and 6 lead. I'm patterning at 30 and 40 yards.

I am Considering reloading 20 gauge with bismuth. I'm looking for a 3" shell with 1 oz of number 5 bismuth. Does anybody have a recommended recipe ?

It is that time of the year again. Wayne of Snakebreaker.com will be at my place again on SUNDAY JULY 31 for his famous snake avoidance clinic. He will begin his clinic shortly after sunrise and go until all the dogs are trained. The cost is $100 per dog. He will NOT have the vaccine this year...

I'm looking for an Orange Boony hat for upland hunting. The one I have says 1 size fits all and I think it was for a child. I had to cut it to make it fit my big head. I'm looking for one that's close to military specs because the other ones either have a really huge brim or a really small brim...

I need another new e-collar. My waterproof transmitter got water in it this weekend. It was splashed while wearing it around my neck. I have always used Sportdog. They seem to last about 2-4 years and then break. I am considering other brands because I am tired of buying a new one every 2-4...

Has there been bad weather up there that is hurting the birds? We have been getting flooded down here.

I am bringing my son up to Kansas again this year for the youth season. I have always bought a license for my son and one for myself. This year I have a friend that is going to meet us up there with his son. He was wondering if the adult with the youth that is hunting needs a license. He will...

I am hunting the same CRP Fields I did during Youth Season and not finding anything. Where do the Pheasant go this time of the year? I have only found them in the thickest brush that I really don't want to hunt because I have one old dog. In the thick brush they seem to be in big groups.

I saw several pieces of land that had the white WIHA signs, but they were not on the map. One piece was not on the map last year or this year, but it had the signs. Two pieces were on the map last year, but not this year and they still had the signs. Can we hunt the land if it isn't on the...

I have a 10 year old Deutsch Drahthaar. I have fed her the same food for about 6 years. I changed it about 2 1/2 months ago because it was discontinued. I noticed in the past couple of weeks that her eyebrows and muzzle have turned gray and her beard is about gone. What is causing this...

I was driving through some pheasant country in the Texas panhandle yesterday and I saw a plane crop dusting everything. I have no idea what he was spraying, but it made me wonder how crop dusting effects the pheasant. Any thoughts?

I have had issues with photobucket so no I am trying Flickr. I am having trouble posting pics from my Flickr account. Any advice? I also tried to upload them from my computer. That didn't work either.

This will be my second year to take my son to Kansas for the pheasant youth season. Last year we saw a bunch of birds (pheasant and quail) and he ended up with a rabbit and one pheasant. I am considering getting him out of school early the day before the season because last year we made it...

I have hunted pheasant for about 10 years and I can never find them in bad weather. I hunted this Friday - Sunday. It was cold Friday morning and probably got to about 50 in the afternoon. We found birds all day. Saturday it went from rain to sleet to snow. We started off finding birds, but...

I took my son for his first pheasant hunt this past weekend. We hunted all day Saturday and a couple hours on Sunday. We had some really good dog work. We found the birds mainly in CRP. We saw a bunch of pheasants, 2 groups of quail, 2 rabbits, a skunk, and a badger. The hens were holding...

I am planning on bringing my son for his first real pheasant hunt this youth season. I took him a couple of years back, but we were in Wichita and all we saw were rabbits. I have hunted up in Kanas since 2007. I have two deutch drahthaars. I have experience, but no experience guiding a kid...

I started hunting Kansas 8 years ago. We only hunt public access land. Back then, I found several 100 bird fields. The area I lucked into was really good for about my first 3 years. Then the droughts hit. We moved around the state each year looking for a better spot and each year it got...

Is there an application that I can use for my phone that will allow me to see my current location, through the phone GPS, and the public land borders? I downloaded the app for my android that is called SDFGP Outdoors from the SD website. It says it will show me my current location, but when I...

I need another Sportsdog 1850 transmitter. Mine kicked the bucket and they have been discontinued.

I guess I haven't been paying attention, but in 2014, the SW corner of the state is closed to Praire Chicken hunting. I wonder why. I have been seeing 10x the amount of chickens to pheasant over the last 3-4 years.
