Last Friday I talked with the farmer whose ground we will hunt in SE ND (not saying what county). He said he has been seeing quite a few birds lately. Last Monday he saw a hen with a clutch of 16 and another later in the week with a clutch of 12. He said it's still not what it used to be but...

Thornton Thornton, I started planning my first trip to ND about 2 months ago. I have found the state NDGF website to be very helpful in regards to plots , game and fish and wha lands. Here is a tip for you , it worked extremely well for me. Do some research , call some Pheasants Forever ans ND...

Thanks for the advice fellow duckman. I will keep an eye on the reports throughout the offseason. We have been smokin the ducks so far this season. The opener in Arkansas was hot with limits for all, mainly killin teal and spoonies with a few big ducks(mallard- pintail) I'm a hardcore...

Cancelled my trip to Kansas due to the poor forecast for this season. Looks like I'll be in a rice field in Arkansas killin dux this year but I hope to bring my Dad next season if things change. 2 questions for the Kansas residents? Is Cloud County traditionally a good pheasant and quail area...

From the weather channel it looks like you Kansas boys may be getting some rain????? Is it to little to late though?

Iowa County Talked to 2 farmers that have ground near Wellman over the weekend. They said last 2 season they told out of staters not to come, birds scarce. This year they are seein some broods around and hope it will be better. Also talked to the dnr biologist yesterday afternoon by phone, he...

Ha! I sense some sarcasm there! More guys go north the more birds for you :)

Ive been monitoring alot of the recent member posts about the heat and dryness out in Kansas. It seems that many of the members are preparing for a lousy season because of this. At what point does a guy that planned on hunting Kansas this fall change his plans to another state??? Wait for the...

Heat I'm just an old country boy from Virginia but one would think the 1oo plus degree weather they are having for the next 7 days can not bode well for young chicks. It's supposed to be 109 in Sylvan Grove the next 3 days. sheesh!

Nice. Talked to the farmer of the ground I rent from yesterday. He farms about 4500 acres in Russell and Lincoln Counties and said he has not seen a pheasant brood personally himslef yet this year. He has seen a few adults and alot of quail broods but no pheasants. He did say his neighbors are...

Texan, Welcome to the forum , I also am a new member. There are some very nice, helpful and friendly guys in this forum and that is why I joined. I have joined several waterfowl forums over the years and the guys could be real jerks at times, not the case here. Bird hunters are guys with tact...

Great! Now we do a rain dance for some rain!

Ouch.......not to good for the hatch huh?

How far along is the wheat harvest in the Russell County area or have they started yet?

Hello to all, I was really pumped to discover this website. Look forward to learning some from you Kansas pheasant hunters. Have had bird dogs all my life up until about 7 years ago. The birds got so bad here in Viriginia that everybody switched to pen raised hunts and that just doesn't get it...
