Just got back from Rolla/Hugoton area last night. We were primarly after phez but got up 4 or 5 coveys of bobs in the process. Found some of them on the southern edge of the Grasslands south of Rolla.
Local friend who lives and hunts there seems to think quail in the area are up a little bit in numbers but nothing spectacular.
Pheasant were in good numbers but you sure gotta work for them. Dry, Dry, Dry and the birds were flushing pretty wild. Had hard winds on Sunday and Monday and that helped to hold them a little.
