***UPDATE*** Just got back from a long weekend in SW Kansas and just wanted to update the thread with our hunting results. Got to the field on Friday around 2pm between Dodge City/Jetmore on WIHA. We saw a fair amount of pheasant activity, just nothing close enough to shoot at. As sunset...

Was the quail you saw on WIHA? I had kind of hoped we would have seen some on our first trip but never saw a single quail. Thanks for the update.

Wife, two sons, and myself are headed back out to Jetmore/Dodge City area thanksgiving weekend. We hunted WIHA on opening weekend and saw decent amount of birds that seemed to be holding pretty decent for the dogs to point. Anyone hunt this area in that last week and have any reports good/bad...

I re-downloaded the data about 30 minutes ago to create the kmz file I uploaded. What area are you looking at that is different? Quickly glancing at your screen cap of hodgeman county and mine I don't see any glaring difference. Looking at the shapefile included in the zip file mine shows a...

I've uploaded my Google Earth version of the WIHA to drop.io. I've never used drop.io until now so I don't know how long the link will last but it's working for me right now. Use this link to download 2009 Kansas WIHA Google Earth KMZ file http://drop.io/KansasWIHA2009/asset/wiha-2009-kmz Let...

Sorry to hear about your dog, I feel your pain. Last year we had weight problems with our GSP and took him in a month before pheasant opener. Vet tests him and says hook worms, no problem give him medicine he'll be fine. Two weeks go by and he's still losing weight so we take him back. Uh...
