YES!! Great thread... Agree w/ all that the money should go directly to the WIHA program...habitat improvements, prescribed burns and increased land totals. Also agree that ##$$%% outfitters should not be able to take their "clients" on these properties period!! Total bull that they...

My $.2 worth... I agree w/ the above statements that Kansas has more hunting pressure and that the WIHA program needs some improvement...more money for landowners and a increase in WIHA properties. Kansas has more pressure for several reasons... 1. Public access...ie WIHA hunting...

Kansas Quail RogerWyo: I too am seeing more birds further north and west. It is not uncommon to move coveys in the vast CRP fields. Southeast KS used to be ground zero....however numbers have dropped due to several major weather events (20 inches of rain) June 08 and some loss of habitiat...

Afternoon gents... Nitro: I agree w/ all...that your private land access is the best choice. Use that as your base and then see what the pressure is like in the area. Also...since KDWP is forecasting NW Kansas to be the hot spot...that's where the opening weekend armies will be!! KS Brit: you...
