I hunted NW KS 1/23-1/26. Took my 5 y/o black lab and my new 4 m/o chocolate (my blacks son). Wierd thing happened to me that have never experienced. I live and hunt Montana and only flush and chase. My black male while in KS this time started pointing both quail and pheasant. At first I couldnt figure out what the h he was doing. I mean he would lock up and wait for me till I told him ok. I never did any training whatsoever. Did very good on this hunt quail and pheas. and came back w a pointer. Even my pup retrieved a few quail and tried to drag a cock back to me by the neck. I feel very lucky. I'll post a pic later.
