Mixed bag question?
Scott, how was the pheasant hunting (and quail)? I'm thinking about a Kansas trip this last weekend. Never hunted there and I know rooster numbers are down, but what I've been hearing about the quail numbers might just make my mind up. That, and getting out of MN to temps in the 50's!! Plus a Red Setter that would love to have another hunt this year! I'm a real Quail newbie. Have only shot at a few (I did scratch one down out of my first covey flush that erupted on all sides of me. I was mighty proud - and surprised!! Those things are rockets!) What a rush! I can see the thrill! So..... I'm kind of looking for some tips. No hotspots, just a general area I would have a decent chance to hopefully see some quail and roosters. I'm thinking north central, maybe the Stockton to Osborne area. Anyone hunted there this year? Any better areas in north central? Or would I be better moving to different locations for each species? Thanks and everyone enjoy these final days of the seasons!
