I hunted most of my normal pheasant and Quail spots in the Smoky hills region of Kansas , I would say numbers down a bit from last year , The areas I hunted in the Glaciated Plains are Quail down on where I have permission . I have. Heard positive reports from the Southern High plains .
BRITTANYS
My Britt girls did a nice job this season , I had my 4 year old dog Lilo Britt put things together glad I stuck with her .
Ginger did it all this season , one of my proudest moments hunting with 5 other hunters she started tracking a runner in a Milo feild , I stayed with her while my friends worked a plumb thicket lined draw in the Milo feild . My hunting partners watched on doubtful that a bird would be taken .
My girl stellfully trackwd the runner going easy cat walking pointing when scent was close , relocating like a pro when scent was lighter . At the flush I was fumbling with something in my vest , recovered in time to put a well placed shot from My Ruger SxS gold label on the front end of him and Ginger brought him to bag.
BISMUTH
Kent Bismuth #4 3 “ 20 gauge one ounce at 1400 FPS pheasants shot on non tox areas in Neb and Kansas , birds shot from 15 to 40 yds went down hard when I did my part . The research I have done is the #4 Bismuth should weigh about the same as #2 steel and have similar pellet count as #5 lead , Trippled on Mallards on a jump with a SxS 20 gauge . A duck going out late straight away at 30 yds or so folded up hard all 3 birds where feet up not twitching at all . This my new non tox 20 ga load .
