Dangit, got my hopes all up and it looks now there is going to be TOO MUCH snow forecasted. Sounds like it has the potential to be a bit nasty where I was planning on going. If I were going with someone I'd feel a little better about it. But just me and my lil gal I'm not sure.

Now that I saw a few posts about road conditions, that got me a little worried, as it is something I never considered. I'm headed to west of Liberal a few miles. Has anyone been around there the past few days that could tell me what the secondary road conditions are like? According to the...

This thread really hit a nerve. After reading the poem by Youth Guy, I am in my office, teared up, hoping no one walks by. I am sorry to hear of the passing of your best friend. There is nothing anyone can say that makes that any easier. We all have stories of our friends that we have...

I found some good looking places that I wanted to hunt this year but it was plastered with No Hunting Without Permission signs. I took that to be a sign that they allowed hunting WITH permission. So I knocked on a few doors till I tracked down the owner. They were extremely nice people and I...

I thought I was the king of pheasant hunting the first time I took a trip by myself. At daylight the first day of my hunt it started snowing. Got a good 4 inches or so on the ground in no time. The rest of the trip I was having to kick pheasants out from under tumbleweeds to get them to fly...

Probably the same places people in groups hunt, except for cut fields. Favorite to hunt is corners if I can get permission on private land. But even in the WIHA I have had success. I hunt a lab, and she makes a superb flush dog, so that helps out with my chances of getting birds in the air...

Go solo!!! My buddy pulled the same stunt on me a few weeks ago. I wasn't about to not go just because he got a sudden case of wussy-itis. I went by myself for three days and had the time of my life. I enjoy being on the prairie with just me and my dog. You can hunt at your own pace, and it...

I know it may kinda sound unproductive, but if you are down to being desperate, it may help. After you walk an area where you think there should have been birds without finding any, fire off a shot in the air and see if any gets up. I have done that a time or two just to see if I am spinning...

I kinda looked for any evidence of a bullet hole in her, but couldn't really see much. I have heard of that mentality as well. A guy I USED to hunt with told me a story about his pointer not doing whatever it was he wanted, so he just "laid that sumbitch over with a load of # 7's to show it...

It was on private land, but there was public land nearby, so could have come from there.

When I was up there hunting earlier this week, I came across the saddest sight, not once, but twice. Driving between fields and there was a brittany in the path that was dead as a doornail. I ain't much of an emotional fellar, but it damn near brought tears to my eyes. Dead dog or not, I...

Boy I know the feeling. My dog Georgia jumped out of the truck before I could get her booted and landed right in a pile of burrs. I felt like a bad dad seeing her limp around. What do ya'll use to boot your dogs? I have bought boots before from Cabelas or BPS, but they always seem to get...

I would plan on booting up the dog. I found sand burrs to be a big pain in the butt in that area. Of course depends on where you hunt, but the areas around corn fields, which is where I hunted primarily, were full of them.

Now I can't give away my secret location!

Had a great hunt the last couple of days, and met some really nice people up there in Kansas. I started out on public land the first day and got a limit, but me and the dog both worked our butts off for it. After the hunt I was driving around and saw what looked like a great spot (turned out...
