Hello all,
I'm located in central oklahoma. Born and raised here, lived in Alaska for 8 1/2 years and came back 2 years ago. I have a 10 year old Draht and a year and a half old gwp. In Alaska I hunted grouse, ptarmigan, hares, and jump shot some waterfowl. I didn't grow up hunting and I'm not very good at it, but I mainly do it for the dogs anyways. My kids are getting old enough to go with me and they're my main hunting pals. Hope to learn a few things on this site.

I live in Okeene, Ok (check out my posts on the Oklahoma site). I'll be hunting Drummond Flats at Drummond, OK ( about 65 - 70 miles from Edmond) Friday Jan 31st. (last day of season). This will be my 25th time hunting the Flats this season. If you can make it give me a call at (580) 614-1372 and we can hunt together. I have a 5 yr old GSP named GunnR. My name is Monte Michaelson.
 
You live in a state with some very good public land to the west, it was a very solid year. Pray for rain and a repeat and go explore!
 
My only time hunting out west is when I drove to Woodward to hunt Cooper WMA. Spoke by phone to the Sr. Game Biologist for Cooper he told me that the Quail population this season was the best for many yrs. Upon that advice I made the 72 mile trek. Well, I must of hunted the wrong area because I walked for 2 hrs straight w/my GSP and not one covey, notta! It looked like very good cover but no birds found. I blame myself as it was my first trip to Cooper and I know there is approx. 30 thousand acres. Haven't returned.
Bummer..
 
Hey Monte,
Thanks for the contact and the invite, whether I can go or not will depend on if I can wiggle out of work that day. I'll let you know if I'm able to. I went up by Lamont and hunted a few of th OLAP properties 2 weeks ago. Right as we were fixing to leave a farmer stopped and told me we could hunt his quarter if we wanted. It was textbook pheasant ground. We didn't see any roosters but saw a lot of hens. I'm in Blanchard.
 
Sounds good, let me know. Went out this a.m. quail hunting around Okeene and GunnR pointed a covey and of course, as usual, I missed.
I usually hunt in the morning, so if you can make out to Drummond whatever time is best for you I'll meet ya.

A number of years ago I used to make the drive out to Beaver, OK and shoot prairie dogs. It was a great time and every once in a while I would jump some quail.

Welcome to the site. If you found hens, there are roosters nearby, hunt harder and have faith in your dog.

Thanks for the welcome. One of the questions I had that brought me to this forum, was if I found hens did I just miss the roosters, so that's good to know. Also, would you be willing to expound on what you mean by "hunt harder"?
That was our first time hunting pheasants, so even just seeing some was fun.

Hunt harder means, get in the game, don't just meander around aimlessly.
