I took the Hunter Safety course in 1988 with the intention of coming to Kansas to hunt pheasants. Had some really great years hunting quail in Texas and Oklahoma and along with work and marriage I lost track of going to Kansas. In 2008 I realized that if I wanted to have bird dogs I needed to...

I shoot a side by side with screw in choke tubes. I use the skeet tube and the modified tube but if I shot a single barrel I would shoot nothing tighter than improved. If you get the chance I highly recommend patterning the chokes with the different loads you shoot at 10-15 yards, 20-25 yards...

I would not worry about it as she will probably grow out of it. One of my setters would grab a mouthful of food, spit it out on the ground, spread it out with her nose and then eat one piece at a time. Don't remember specifically when she stopped but feeding in the evening after hard day of...

If you have access to some pen raised birds, 15 weeks is a good age to make that introduction.

I am extremely fortunate in that my wife accompanies me on most of my hunts. She is an exceptionally talented amature photographer. We save our vacation time to take our dogs on hunting trips. I know a lot of guys who go on hunting trips to get away from their wives but not me. I got married to...

Thanks. Glad to be here!

I live in Texas and have hunted the Walk-In Areas in Kansas the last two seasons. It is highly unlikely that I will have an opportunity to do any pre-season scouting. That's just the way it is. In my opinion people who bash the Walk-In program don't understand or appreciate the difference...
