Hunted today at one of my spots and was extremely disappointed. The 3 coveys I did find had been shot up so bad there were only 8 birds in 2 of them and maybe 10 in the other. Saw 3 groups of out of state hunters, 2 with dog trailers, and 8 quail carcasses in the parking lot of one of the spots I hunted. The covey I found there had 8 birds left in it.
Saw only 2 pheasants all day. Bird numbers are definitely down and when you combine that with the constant FB posts about how amazing Kansas is and all the out of state hunters who come here in droves to annihilate our upland bird populations, before long we will be Missouri. Void of quail and pheasant.
I've never seen so much hunting pressure, especially from out of state hunters. It's getting bad... real bad. The few coveys we do have you can't hunt anymore because they are so small. I just pray they survive and its only the 2nd freaking weekend of season!
For all you out of staters... please come here, spend your money and I hope you find ZERO BIRDS.
