I also am an out of state hunter. I disagree with the generalization of out of state hunters. We have a problem in general with unethical hunters though out the country. In Colorado I met a wild life officer that was performing a sting. He put out a foam dear, the kind use for archery practice...

I am planning on hunting the Colby, Atwood, Norton, Wakeeney area Wednesday and Thursday. Has any one been on the county roads in this part of NW Kansas. I usually don't run into problems as the roads seem mostly sand, but I would like first hand observations if possible. It will be warmer for...

I went out This Wednesday and Thursday (Nov 7,8) staying in McCook. On the drive out, passing Imperial and Palisade I saw about 20% corn harvested. Also, I would say about 40% milo harvested. Of course the wheat was at mid-calf height. As far as moisture levels, I noticed that the CRP lands...

Conditions near Wakeeny 01/28/2017 I want to thank everyone for their input. I did not have the time to drive down to Dodge City area, so I just went for a day trip from Colby to Wakeeny. This was Saturday. The conditions were very dry, even had quite a bit of dust as I drove on the county...

I appreciate the tips Thank you, This helps as I did not make a motel reservation, as I was waiting on some good information. Much appreciated, Bruce

Why it that? Is that because of roads, cover, or just plain lack of birds? Would you suggest north or south? Thank you, Bruce

Road Conditions Near Oakley Hello, I was thinking about a two day hunt near Oakley, south to Wakeeny, and back. Looking at the weather pattern, there seems to be a line close to my planned hunt where there was less moisture. Can anyone give me a report on the roads where I plan on hunting. If...

Thanks for the update Thank you, very good information. I understand grease, only a tractor can handle that stuff. I will watch the weather and if it rains, I will postpone until it gets cold again.

I hunted the first three weekends of the season, and the weather was so dry it was very tough hunting, poor scenting conditions and dust. Now, I am ready to return to SW Nebraska. So, after this snow storm, how are the back roads? I have winter tires, but not mud tires and with the warm up I am...

What do you consider NC Kansas I have seen the term NC Kansas and would like your definition. Looking at the WIHA map, I would say geographically, NC to be 5-8 and 17-20. For quail, could I narrow it down to 6 and 7 or go south. I have two setters and would love to get my new pup (14 months...

How were the county roads for your trip I am getting ready to go out to NW KS (Oakley to Wakeeney) in a day or two. During your video, it looked cold enough that the roads were firm enough to get around. Can anyone tell me if you think the roads will be firm tomorrow (Thursday Dec 22) or the...

Let the dog decide I agree with Steve. I have a single 6 year old setter, and hunt alone for reasons posted here. I don't believe in shooting a bird unless it is properly pointed, solid with no creeping. I hunt for the sport of using a pointing dog on upland game. When I hunt and watch other...

I am dismayed at the negative atmosphere for this series of posts. I have been pheasant hunting Colorado for abut 10 years, so not an expert and not a novice. Here are some of my obsrevations relating to the posts and my season: 1) I don't think charging a fee for WIHA will help. I have been...

McCook area last weekend I went to the McCook area last weekend (Nov 7 and 8) and had a similar experience. While I found good looking cover just west of McCook, arround Palisade, I found no birds. After staying at the Ceader Inn 4 Less, I headded east and found excellent cover, but, was not...

re: Ben Garcia I have so much not to say about him as Brid-man's mother suggested.. I will say this, no one can train 26+ dogs and give them time. Finished my dog using the CGDA grounds and Kiowa Creek Sporting club facilities.
