Is there anyone who gets out and works their dog with some of the earlier season birds. Like prairie chicken etc...?

Been hunting dove for a week now and next weekend teal season opens. Teal season is the my favorite over everything else. My dog is hunted from September 1st thru March.
Weather permitting (heat), I'll be going almost every weekend to chase the early chickens, of course between teal hunts! I too like the early teal season. Brings back a bunch of fond memories as a kid. As a kid I lived to hunt the "special" teal season as we called it. Some years better than others but always a lot of fun.

I've been dove hunting a bunch here in IL but have the itch for prairie birds....I've been back and forth between trying for chickens in KS or going to Nebraska...I'm leaning towards Nebraska in hopes of getting into sharptails but I already have KS license....hmmmmmmm. AND Kansas is a lot closer...lol

I have been searching for some doves but no such luck of any sizable numbers. I was thinking of trying to chase some chickens but I am not sure where to look for them.

routine
age is making the mountains less fun so the blue's are safe. prairie birds are quite a ways from where I live but the routine is to start running the dogs some on cooler days in aug. I dove hunt a great deal, the dogs spend some of that time behaving, they will sit like they are supposed to, the rest of the time they are allowed to run around being idiots. that gets their lungs pumping and feet toughened up, used to the heat, they also get to do lot's of retrieving, middle of sept. I will likely teal hunt a couple of days and that can be combined usually with some dove shooting. first of oct. will find me running the dogs on snipe. they don't much like to be pointed by the dogs, but then, sometimes. they are a hoot to shoot at and taste the same as dove. then it is a number of trips to the duck pond, and then ya know, it's time to go chase pheasants and my dogs have by now gotten most of their fat worn off that they acquired sleeping on the couch all summer and are ready to go. I should be so lucky
cheers

They took out that entire area? I haven't seen a 2014-15 WIHA atlas yet.

If we are all talking about the same one, then yes. :laugh:
I lost one last year and one this year. I only ever had three decent PC WIHAs, so now I guess it's slim pickins.... :laugh:

I lost around four good WICAs in the area I hunt over the past two seasons. I actually had one added last year and tried it. Never did kick up a bird or even seen any signs of pheasant activity.
