I would bet akp nailed it. Maybe wild means they run around all night fighting drinking whisky and smoking dope!Does it really make sense that they have enough true wild birds to run guys like that over and over all season? That area has never recovered to what it was in the 2000s. Not even close. I'd bet they're released young or something like that to make them more wild. I know someone that hunts there every year and he says they fly well. Pretty sure Upland Inn used to post pics on here. If he's still around then maybe he will answer but I'd be skeptical that they're wild hatched birds.
kick them up is spot on. It is a well run operation and a lot of fun. I've been there 3 times. The birds fly much better than the places that put them out the day of your hunt.I have hunted at Country Inn hunts and know Jason the owner. Yes, I believe they use surrogator's. That said, It is a top notch run facility with great native grass bird habitat with food plots in them and great flying birds. They follow the same dates for the KS upland season and follow the KS limits of for roosters.
By all means this is not a "wild bird" hunt. If you want a wild bird hunt call Chris at Gypsum Creek Outfitters, but I have no problem recommending Country inn hunts. It is also where American Bird Hunter films hunts.
This is where we filmed my late Lab Josie being a rockstar while testing the CZ 1012.
