Cimarron this weekend?

[roughneck09]

Coming from Eastern Kansas and considering making the trek out west this weekend.

Looking at the weather looks like some more snow between home and the Grasslands this evening. Is anyone out that direction are the roads okay to travel?

Is January a decent time to look for the scales or would I be better off sticking near home and chasing bobs?

If anyone is headed out this weekend I've got myself and a wirehair if you want to chase them together.

TIA

I'd be tempted to join your pursuit if my calendar was free. I have been eyeing the grasslands as a destination hunt to see it and hopefully add the scalie to my harvested Kansas bagged bird. I visited with a lady in early December, and she said hunting had been tough, but noted the scaled quail were south of the river and the bob white's were north of the river. I understand the scaled quail are runners and I would think multiple dogs would be an advantage. I also was thinking that pairing a pointer and a flusher would be a good mix, but I could be dead wrong in my analysis.

In regards to the road conditions, I don't know what you will find in between your place and Highway 283, but I would expect it is clear west of that line.

Good luck if you go and please share an update of your hunt if you don't mind!

Assuming you live east of CNG it's snowing snowing right now across some of your route. We're not supposed to get much though. I think Wichita is forecast for 1"-3". I'm pretty sure the highways were clear before today's snow. Yesterday from Wichita to Hutch was perfect. Roads in town, not so much.
