I hope many find some time to take out the kids this weekend. My boys and I hope to find some quail and a rooster or two close to home. Best of luck to everyone!

I saw this article yesterday. Looks like South Dakota is discontinuing their pheasant crow counts. I found this shocking. It made me think, KS hasn’t published counts yet this year. Given the madness of the spring I’m curious if counts took place and KDWPT is just behind or if we won’t have...

I’ve been thinking about trying some Woodcock hunting. I live in far NE KS with great access to forested areas and I’ve heard of folks hunting them in my area. The only thing is I know absolutely nothing about them. I’m hoping someone can give me some pointers. What type of habitat to look for...

Hunted for a couple of hours this morning. We ended up with 6 quail with 2 of us and one dog. We did shoot one rooster but after a long search moved on without our long feathered prize. We hunted in central KS at some old favorites. We saw nice covies in each field we hunted including 2 where...

Camping in eastern KS in a state park and we are hearing lots of quail. We even had a few cross the road in front of us this morning. Cold crisp mornings, falling leaves, and quail have me ready to go. My Irish setter is with us and he's ready to roll too. I don't think he understands why I...

I've been watching the thread in Iowa and waiting for someone in Kansas to start one. So here goes, harvest is progressing nicely in NE KS, at least before the storms this week. What are we hearing and seeing out there?

Most of the corn is out in my neck of the woods. Beans are getting close but I haven't seen anyone cutting yet. The question is, anyone hear any reports from the farmers regarding birds. I'm hoping the thick cover this year distorted the summer survey numbers down. Last year was encouraging in...

My wife saw a rooster on 24 highway close to Perry this evening in Jefferson County. Once upon a time pheasants were pretty good in North Jeff county and it's not unusual to see a bird around here and there but I've never seen one that far south. I wish I didn't get so excited every time I saw a...

I talked to a friend with the local electric coop. There is significant flooding in northern Jefferson county including large areas of the Perry Wildlife area. This is an area that was showing promise for a pheasant recovery. I'm going to check it out tomorrow after my sons ball game. I was up...

I'm new to the forum but I've been reading it for a couple of years. Our 6 month old Setter/Brittany mix took off with our coon dog 10 days ago and hasn't been seen since. The coon dog showed up Christmas eve. We've checked all the local pounds, posted signs, etc. but I was hoping to spread the...
