Would you feel comfortable sharing your contact in NW Iowa? It would be closer than SD for my second trip this year. If not I understand.

If you’re headed back that way this fall let me know. I hunt that area, usually by myself. Would enjoy some company. Thank you

Does anyone have experience with the new Alpha 200? What are its pros/ cons? Mostly is it worth the extra cash? I need a visual tracker and am open to ideas. Thank you fo the input.

I just read this post and want to come to the Faulkton area next week. Ive got access to some private ground but am always looking for another good spot. Paying to hunt not a problem. If you would share your contact I would appreciate it. Also if you have any info on the covid situation in that...

Thanks for the ideas My GSP is about the same age. He is used to working quail and ranging out. With pheasants she adapts in weeds and cover but tends to go too fast on fencerows. I think additional work on whoa is a good place to start. He does a good job trailing the birds but I often...

close working breed I've only had a few dogs, brittany, EP and GSP. I'm very impressed by the ability of my GSP to work at whatever distance I desire. While they may need to burn a little energy before hitting the field, with your guidance they'll hunt where you want them to. Also they're...

Today I put many of the ideas into play. Scored the first bird of the trip and missed another. Surprised how tight the birds are sitting. The dog has done a fine job for his first Kansas hunt. Cant wait for tomorrow.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll put them to work tomorrow. Today I worked the CRP but it was mid day. I'll pay more attention to the feeding ares and time of day. Guess I'd better turn the lights out so I can be in the field earlier. I did get up 5 birds today but the four close ones were all hens.

Thanks for the input. That's pretty much been my strategy too. I do sometimes try to use the truck as a blocker but that often means twice the walking.

I'm in central Kansas for the rest of the week on private land. Most of the leases seem to be CRP or grass fields. Any suggestions as to time of day and technique to increase my chance of getting a shot at any birds the areas hold? I'm hunting by myself with a 18 month old GSP. Any ideas...
