No. It was leased by Mid America. I told em to not renew the lease because the property is worthless now. Apparently they have in their contract that if habitat is destroyed or reduced, so is the lease payment if not cancelled all together.

Pulled up to my best honey hole Sunday which was a full section of draws, corn and CRP. All the CRP had been hayed. Talked to the farmer to ask what his plans were and he said the CRP expired and the price the govt is paying was a joke so he put it back into production. Normally this...

I had the opportunity to hunt Iowa for the first time a for their opener. Got invited on an all private land deal for the weekend. Wanted to just share some of my observations on KS vs Iowa. We shot our 8 man limit of roosters opening morning after only walking 3 fields. Was some of...

I have a farmer down there who farms over 10,000 acres. From my understanding there was baseball size hail that went through that SW corner of the state this summer. My farmer friend lost a lot of fields due to that. Said he saw less than 5 birds during harvest as a result.

Gerber hands down! I have 2 pairs and love em.

Had 2 diff farmers in SW KS tell me not to come. 1 had a group of 11 guys go out and they shot 2 roosters in 2 days. The other went out and they saw 1 rooster. Said they aren't allowing hunting this year in hopes to leave some birds for seed, which I think is a good idea. Both of these...

Best season for me by far pheasant wise. I don't hunt with big groups, normally me and 1 other person (maybe 2). Shot a 2 man limit 3x and one 3 man limit once this season. I agree, lots of quail, I would say an avg of 4 coveys a day. Walked a total of 106 miles this season. Feet are tired...

I posted in your other thread about hulls as well - sad that you have to turn off comments. Just remember everyone is a 100% perfect hunter behind their computer chair. Gotta let the BS just roll off your back.

I video my hunts as well (biglerbirdhunting on youtube) - I stopped caring about people complaining about hulls. You pick the ones up you can, its all you can do. I would rather not lose a downed bird vs making sure I picked up that hull otherwise why even pull the trigger in the first place.

People on facebook Hot Spot like NO OTHER. It's literally an epidemic. I've even seen guys in the Wild Bird Hunters group on FB post exact WIHA locations. It's almost always out of state hunters doing it with other out of staters coming to KS.

I cannot imagine.... I would be devastated. Just reading that was tough. I feel bad for the hunter who shot the dog as well as the owner. Really tough deal all around.

No problem. We definitely put a lot of miles on the ole boots. About 31 miles in 3 days. There are some birds out there but they weren't easy.

Highlight video of my hunt this past weekend. My dog Olive is in the orange shirt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLv6ahF1-Vc First couple days were good, we saw decent bird numbers but our shooting was terrible. Day 3 it finally came together and we limited out by noon. Did not chase...

Welcome to Kansas!

This is why I never hunt without my garmin GPS collar.
