Tuesday may be some damn fine hunting. Not sure about Monday... could be dicey.... may pack those tire chains after all. ... WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON... THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN DODGE CITY HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH... WHICH IS IN...

Nice photo. I look forward to seeing those wonderful sunsets and sunrises in a couple of days. lefty

It's been a few years since I hunted pheasants at CB. I have always shot birds there. There is a lot of huntable land at CB. They also have quail restoration areas but I've never seen any quail there. Give the office at CB a call. They are very helpful and informative. Good luck to you. Lefty

I guess I'm oldschool. I still carry the wiha book and Kansas atlas. lefty

I got chains several years ago after getting stuck in an ice storm. Very good for icy hills. Wouldn't worry too much about snow in Kansas aas long as you have a 4x4. Lefty

Does Cabela's sell those..... or do I have to go to my neighborhood Polo store????:D

AMEN Brother!!! Last 2 years during opening week I quit early due to heat on more than one occasion. My black dogs get hot quickly.

Good point, Husker. Over 100k oos hunters come to SD for bird hunting. That's a lot of coin going into the state coffers, not to mention the positive economic impact to local towns. What's that old expression "Be careful what you wish for". I snicker too, at those trucks, without a speck of...

I have had some problems with my super hard-charging lab getting out of range. Oftentimes, we are hunting thick crp where I sometimes can see only 10-15 yards ahead. I'll use my whistle often (tweeeeett, tweet,tweet come in whistle) if I sense he's ranging too far. In lighter cover where I...

According to the reports, the NW will be great this year. Find a hunter-friendly motel in a town you like (started writing dog-friendly but erased) near lots of wiha. You won't be disappointed. Best of luck to you.

Same here!

I have a 12 year old lab that will accompany me to Kansas next month. He's good for an hour's hunt twice a day at most. Fortunately, I have a 6 year old hard-charger as well who gets most of the work. He's fed well and gets a decent amount of excercise in the off season. I plan on taking him...

Pup's being a pup. At 10 months this type of behavior is expected if he has not gone through formal obedience training and force fetch. Now's not the time to begin anything new. I would try to enforce commands he already knows. Pup's getting great exposure to birds but won't be perfect this...

Started carrying a gun at age 10 in Pennsylvania... 2 years before I was legal. This was the mid 1970's just after PA's pheasant hunting boon.:mad: Walked lots of miles for very few birds. Sadly, everyone from those years are gone now. Hunted till I was 18 then went away to college and...

I never hunt weekends for exactly the reasons listed above. One of the primary reasons I hunt is for the peace it instills in me. lefty
