This time of year the Kansas forum starts to get really active with people wanting to know where to hunt birds. Posts with a title like this one can easily get over a thousand views from non members to the site. I want to be helpful to all of you looking for that information.
1.) Join the forum and contribute to the conversation here. Once you have been around the site awhile and have developed relationships with guys on here, you may well get invited to hunt with some guys on good land. Guys are much more likely to send you a PM to answer a "help me plan my hunt" question if you have been active on the forum.
2.) If you join the forum and have successful hunts, share them with all of us. We really enjoy seeing each other be successful and hearing stories of how your puppy is coming along etc. DO NOT give specific locations of where you hunt. That can really pi$$ off people. You would be amazed at how 1 post like "got my limit today at Sand Hills State park" can affect the hunting pressure at that location.
3.) If you do not want to put the time and effort into Ultimate pheasant hunting forum that's fine. It's not for everyone. Then here is what I suggest:
KDWPT Forecast - The state does spend a lot of time and resources on this report. The report is not going to tell you exactly where to go but there is some very useful information in it.

WIHA - Kansas has a great system of public hunting on private grounds. Here is a link to the maps. You can use google earth to scout from your couch. I have shot plenty of birds on these lands.

Corp of Engineers land - most of the reservoirs in the state have public hunting around them. Maps can be found on the Corp website.
I hope that info is useful. If any other members have other suggestions please feel free to share them.
This is an update to last years similar post.
