Although I got away from serious bird hunting after 30 years of spending 40+ days afield, I still visit this form on occasion and watch conditions closely. I still get out a few times a year and take a trip or two to S. Dakota to chase ringnecks. Looking at conditions west of roughly highway...

Went for a drive this morning as we're within a couple of weeks of peak pheasant hatch. The good news is that I saw three broods. The bad news is the number of chicks per brood was small. Group 1 - Two adult roosters and 6 hens picking grit. Saw 2 chicks with group. Watched for 7 minutes...

Looks like we've gone from one extreme to the other this year. One thing is for sure, this week was a tough one for nesting birds. Some "prime" counties were hit hard with rain this week. The peak of the hatch is still a few days away, although hatching has begun and some birds are on the...

First quail whistle heard about 10 minutes ago. I was beginning to worry. Normally I hear them by about April 15. Point!

Troy, I drove though your part of the country yesterday. Thought about you when I passed the big brown sign! Although I wasn't hunting, I pulled off the road in a couple of spots between Dodge City and Kingman to check the ice. Looks like you guys had a good 3/8" to 1/2" inch in spots...

Just a bit of venting and wanted to get the word out. I just got off the phone with Collar Clinic who informed me that my G2 series transmitter is unrepairable. In short, I've owned Tri-Tronics equipment for years as I really like the way they function and the availability of service. Over...

I've found this to be relatively accurate for my area over the years. Thought I'd post and see if it appears to be accurate to anybody else. This is the estimated precipitation for Kansas from May 17 to May 24. Thoughts? Kansas Estimated Rainfall 5/17/15 - 5/24/15 Point!

This may be something everybody here knows, but I am utterly amazed by what I've seen in the last couple of days. I'm in Scottsdale, AZ playing a little golf. The first day I got here I played the ASU course. The course is in the middle of Phoenix just a couple of miles east of the airport...

Although I almost never post, for years I have read this forum everyday....sometimes twice. Because of this, I feel like I almost "know" the regular posters and their dogs. With this in mind, I thought I'd share something I have done recently that I hope will never become necessary. I have...

I didn't want to hijack the thread below so I thought I'd start a new one. It's amazing how minds can begin to change. In the early days of the WIHA program it was as if the land had come from heaven. Good habitat, plenty of game, and folks treated it as if it was a true privilege to get to...

Formally known as the "Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program", Kansas has or will receive $1.5 million in funding. A few of questions for those of you "in the know". 1) Has Kansas actually received this money? 2) Will it be spent in addition to what Kansas is already spending...

As I write this I'm getting ready to venture out to one of my favorite dove hunting spots. Like most of you, I know that spots between bodies of water and feed with roosting spots nearby are prime this time of year. Then, it dawned on me....bodies of water? Hmmmm....for most of us that will...

To say that this year is going to be a tough one is putting in mildly. I, like probably most of you here, put a lot of work and care into my dogs. In my case, it was my decision to bring them into this world. As I sit and watch the weather worsen I think about my dogs and the coming season...

It's my opinion that if we don't see some decent rains VERY soon, it's going to have a very significant impact on this year's hatch. Currently this year is as dry as 2001 which was the worst year in decades. Pheasants need moisture not only for brooding, but for nesting as well. No 18+" tall...

I had intended to head out hunting for a few days, but instead, I sit here checking the weather trying to decide where to go and when to leave. I guess I'm just not as tough as I used to be. As a result, I have a little time to outline and ask a question to those who frequent this board. Last...

This season is somewhat of an enigma to me. I'd say the pheasant numbers are about like last year. But it appears to me that the quail are up significantly. I've been to each region this year and have had luck in all. While I hunt nearly exclusively for quail, I almost always see a some...

I'm somewhat new here, but have been lurking for quite some time. I enjoy reading what people have to say about our great state, their passion for the sport, and working with dogs. That being said, there's something I can't quite figure out. Why do so many people here feel the need to give...
