I'm from the Midwest, and an avid pheasant/deer hunter and fisherman who will likely move to Colorado in the next year. In fact, I'm heading to your great state to scout the Ft. Collins area and Co. Springs area in a couple of weeks. As a sportsman, which area would you prefer and why? Any...

Yes, we only hunted the Redfield area.

There appeard to be marginally nesting cover. It was very wet with more standing water than in previous years. None of the property we hunt was removed from CRP however.

Like others, I read many of the discussions about the decline in bird numbers but decided to wait to chime in until I had first had experience. Well, It's pretty grim. Our group hunted private land in the Redfield area for two days. Historically, on the same property, we would flush (albeit most...

Will be stopping in Omaha (possibly Sioux City) on our way to SD. Would like to get a mornning hunt in before heading north. Can anyone recommend a game farm/hunt club near by? Don't need a guide or dogs. Just looking to work the dogs we have on some birds. Thanks, Mark

This fall will likely be my old girl's (11 year old lab) last year in the field. Before I head out to purchase another finshished/near finished companion, I thought I see if anyone needs to rehome their dog for whatever reason. I've always had labs but would be open to a GSP. The dog will...

Possibility Gents - I'll be in SD the second week of Nov. but would also like to use up my second 5-day license. As it stands I was also thinking about trying out North Central Kansas for the first time. I have 3 to four other guys who would likely be up for a Kansas or SD hunt the first week...

Thanks - advice on lodging? Norton Area? Thanks guys for the replies. I think I'll try the Hill City, Norton area for a few days in December. Can anyone recommend a motel that caters to hunters?

Gents - I'm looking to head to Kansas for the first time with a couple of buds in Early December. We're great brush busters and blockers but now face a lack of dogs. My ol girl is good is only good for a few hours anymore. If you are an ethical, respectful pheasant addict with with a dog and...

Gents - I'm an experienced, respectful bird hunter with an old dog who is looking to try Kansas for the first time. My spots in IA just aren't producing anymore! So...I'm searching for some land to hunt and am willing to pay a reasonable access fee. I'm more interested in hunting than...

Good Hunt Had good success in Sac and Cahoun counties this past weekend. lots of snow made for a tough hunt but we also saw lots of birds with a 15:1 hen to rooster ratio. Most bolted away just as the car door shut and others took wing 2 steps into the field. I think I'll crawl on my belly next...

N/W Iowa Hunt -Guidance I've hunted around Spencer and the lakes for a few years now and would agree with pheasantaddict that the cattails are a good bet. Also try areas immediately adjacent to corn or bean fields as well as river or creek edges (sorry if I'm ststing th obvious). The thicker...
