Hill City
I am a novice myself, but yes, the birds were scattered last week with the mild weather. It has turned much colder in the last few days which I understand should bunch them up. The birds we found were in patches of CRP near cut corn or in small islands of in the middle of corn and milo. That sounds like a over simplfied answer, because all those areas did not hold birds, but a few of them had a rooster or two. A few had several and one had about 20. Of course, all 20 birds basically flushed like a wave as we approached.
We concentrated on the enrolled areas west and south of Hill City and a few North of Hwy 24. There were more hunters as we moved North. If you use the areas around CR 190 and CR 200 and crossing with CR G, H, I or so, you should find enough birds to keep you interested.
