    Opening Day in Kansas

    very spotty. Didn’t see a bird the first 2 hours, then found them in heavy cover (on a 65 degree day?!) quail probably not as good as expected/reported by the farmer. Pheasant probably a little better. There had to be water nearby, to find any birds.

    Snow hunting

    Went out Southwest on Saturday in the snow. Did better than opening day in the same area, as the birds were concentrated and holding tight in thick cover.

    Reports

    Birds 90% down in SW/SC where we hunt mostly private. A couple spots w ok numbers. In what seems to be a direct correlation, 90-95% of all crp has been hayed or grazed down to nothing. Farmer also told me that he can sell crp that he bales right now- Sweet deal.

    Heat wave

    Supposed to be over 100 for the next week or so in pheasant country. Are the chicks sturdy enough to withstand?

    A Tradition

    Went out southwest with 4 guys and 2 kids today- killed 4 pheasant and 15 quail. The roads were dicey this afternoon, but was never really worried about getting stuck. Was sure hard to locate the pheasant in the afternoon- had that trouble both times we went out this year. Would sure be great if...

    Kansas Trespassing Fee for Private Land

    Planning on zoom. Would you consider starting a new thread with a link for the meeting and a few key talking points? I think some guys are probably skipping over this thread now with 200 some replies.

    Tough hunting

    went out Saturday in SW on private ground with no dogs. 9 guns, stopped hunting around 4. Found 20 quail and 7 roosters, and regrettably lost more. Tons of coveys, including the biggest covey I’ve ever seen (over 50 if there was one). Saw some crp that had been mowed down- we need to be talking...

    Numbers so far...

    Haven't got a great feel for how everybody did from the opener until now, but the general feeling I'm getting is that numbers are the same or down from last year, just as the forecast predicted. We hunted southwest on opening day and had our worst day since probably 2013- but I attribute some of...
