Wow, your hunting report has brought up some fond old memories of hunting with my dad. He was my dad and my best friend. He always had time to take me hunting or fishing and his favorite was quail hunting. He and my uncle Roy took me to Kansas (Oberlin) around 1986 and did we have a great...

Totally agree. Do the research and do the work. No short cuts.

I've seen pheasants in the dunes on Cape Hatteras National Seashore while on fishing trips. That would be a tough life.

Welcome Beaufort. I'm about 2.5 hours south of you in Calabash. I fish out of Beaufort several times a year with a friend from New Bern. We also travel to Kansas once every few years to pheasant and quail hunt. It is always a great trip.

Go to-Browning B80, 12 gauge, 26 inch with invector chokes. However, for upland birds, I have an Ithaca SKB Model 500 20 Gauge that is very quick. It is death on pheasants with 3" Nitro 6's.

Thanks for the welcome!

Nice. I get over to Johnson City every once in a while.

Thanks for the welcome.

I've know several Brittany's from that line. Thanks and will give you a shout if we get out that way.

Good to hear that things may be improving. I'm currently out of dogs (have had setters and brittanies), and when we have gone in the past we have usually just walked birds up. Currently thinking about a boykin spaniel for flushing and retrieving, and they are good on ducks in small water...

Thanks wolfcreeknc! I haven't bird hunted in NC in several years. My dad and I hunted quail and grouse back in the day, but the lack of farming and loss of habitat to development has all but put an end to bird hunting here. Deer hunting is pretty good, and we enjoy coastal fishing quite a bit.

Hey, the first time we were out there we hunted from Oberlin to Norton, with a little foray into McCook, Nebraska. The last two times we have been we stayed in WaKeeney, south of you on 283. Mostly hunted between WaKeeney and Hill City.

Hey nctransplant. Where were you from and where are you now? I am from Rutherfordton, NC, but currently work in Calabash, NC.

Good cold morning to all. I'm a long time lurker but just registered newbie here from North Carolina. Me and several friends hunt western Kansas every few years, although because of the drought, we haven't been since 2009. Enjoy reading the posts and viewing the pics. Hope to get back out...
