I too am very familiar with this group/business. Great web site, and a good group of folks. Unfortunately, their business strategy/plan doesn't work. While they appear to have a significant amount of properties, the habitat is marginal in many cases. Further, there is a limit to how many...

Although I got away from serious bird hunting after 30 years of spending 40+ days afield, I still visit this form on occasion and watch conditions closely. I still get out a few times a year and take a trip or two to S. Dakota to chase ringnecks. Looking at conditions west of roughly highway...

For pheasants, food is not much of an issue. As long as we don't get an ice storm...they'll do fine. On the other hand, we're already losing quail. Even with adequate food supplies, when temps get too low quail simply can't physically take in enough calories to replace the heat lost. Given...

I understand completely. I got to thinking the same thing over the last few years. Trespassing, the lack of birds, and the unbelievable hunting pressure caused me to have this thought more and more. At one time I had six dogs, a trailer, and thousands of acres to hunt. I averaged roughly 40...

Many thanks for the inquires. The trailer has been sold.

Replied to your PM a few minutes ago.

As a general rule, the roads will be OK. The Grasslands are sandy. You'll need to be careful if taking any two-tracks. Seeing more pressure this year. I think this is due to folks having trouble finding birds in most of the state and trying to go to places they haven't hunted in the past...

Guess I'm swimming upstream....as usual. I don't deer or turkey hunt, but I'd love to see the change made. A couple of my buddies and I were talking about the wish for a change in season dates just last week. Had no idea there was anything brewing that could push toward an actual change. I...

Hunted south central. Bird pheasant numbers down significantly from last year. Saw about the same number of coveys, but most had fewer birds than last year. Saw 12 pheasants in first 3 days. Crops out. Private land good habitat. My guess is too much rain at the wrong time. Hunted too...

The difference is timing. While the nesting and incubation periods are nearly identical, they occur at different times. For example, crudely put, the peak of the pheasant hatch is roughly June 6th. This varies from year to year but the 6th is the average. The peak of the quail hatch is...

I don't believe the snow made to the NE quadrant of Kansas. Point!

Went for a drive this morning as we're within a couple of weeks of peak pheasant hatch. The good news is that I saw three broods. The bad news is the number of chicks per brood was small. Group 1 - Two adult roosters and 6 hens picking grit. Saw 2 chicks with group. Watched for 7 minutes...

Hard to say at this point how badly the birds will be affected. One thing is for sure, this much snow is not good for them. I've already seen multiple nests with eggs. While the incubation period is 23 days, there is additional time needed to lay the eggs. The total cycle is roughly 38...

Ynot, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you got the pup for Christmas, I'm guessing he's roughly 5 - 6 months old. You can't expect much out of a pup at that age. My suggestion for training is to get him out and "happy time" him. Happy timing is getting the pup out so that he can...
