Headed out to SW Kansas on Wed to do some rooster shooting The recent moisture and temperature drop should improve our success

Had decent luck out here in SW Kansas My party of 6 shot 17 roosters and 14 quail on Sat and a half day Sun

We had good luck in SW Kansas our group of 9 limited out each of the first 3 days Saw lots of birds but it helped that I scouted for 3 mornings and evenings before the opener On a side note I was pleasantly surprised at the number of pheasants I saw while scouting That’s normally my gauge on...

Long time member seldom post Thought I would give a positive post Our group of 4 with 2 dogs hunted quail on private ground east of Emporia Finished the day with 16 birds Found 4 sizeable covies This past weekend my son with 3 other hunters and 3 dogs hunted in Seward Co On Sat they bagged 5...

I agree the big question will be the survival of the quail population over the harsh conditions the past 12 days. However on a brighter note I did see the covey I’ve been feeding on the home place last evening. I hadn’t seen them for a number of days I think they moved into thicker cover. If you...

The best wheat stubble needs to be weedy with volunter wheat growing I’m it

Our group of 10 was fortunate to limit out on Sat. Was great to have my 3 sons nephew and 2 grandsons in the party. We also had a young teenager from Durango Co who along with my grandson had never hunted pheasants before. I was pleased that we did so well in spite of the weather I believe the...

Only posting what I’m hearing from the local farmers

I haven’t hunted Grant co for several years but in the past I always had good luck. I do know there is a very active pheasants forever chapter in Ulysses and they’ve done a lot of habitat projects and food plots. I wouldn’t worry about sand burrs I’ve only encountered them on a very few...

Had a great dove opener managed to shoot a 13 man limit yesterday Lots of birds and a lot of great retrieves from our labs

I’m with you. As sportsmen I think we all should be concerned with encouraging the sport of hunting not discounting it. As I read so many of the posts on UPH they seem to talk about all the reasons one shouldn’t not why one should hunt. I read too often of hunters complaining it’s too warm or...

The Cimarron grassland in Southwest Kansas’s usually offers some good dove hunting. Anywhere between Rolla and Elkhart there are numerous stock tanks with overflows. Dove l water in the evening before flying to roost in the trees on the river. It’s all public hunting mostly sand hills so not...

Been doing some early scouting for doves. I’m seeing nice sized broods and quail everywhere. However lots of heavy cover but I think we should have a good season down here in the SW

. We had a similar hunt in mid December. We hunted corners on a half mile circle that had not been hunted. The cover was extremely thick scenting conditions were horrible. However the birds sat tight and we were actually walking over them. But we hunted slow and let the dogs do the work. Took...
