My buddy and I just got back from a trip to Nebraska and I have to say that , from my perspective, there was a lot of great cover and quite a few birds. We were able to get into several coveys of quail, some roosters and even a group of prairie chickens. We didn't find huge numbers of birds...

Thanks very much for the info. I really appreciate it !

I grew up quail hunting in the Commonwealth of Virginia , hunting behind Setters with my dad. The quail pretty much disappeared 25 years ago so I became primarily a grouse hunter. Anyway, I've been out to the Midwest a few times in pursuit of pheasants but this year I'm going to try a...

There are no birds in Virginia :). That said, I have used FFF Preserve in Keysville in the past. This is not a 5 star , meals included setup but he does have a nice lodge and good areas to hunt. Bill Hall 800-643-2606. Primland is an Orvis-endorsed lodge that is $$$$ if you're looking...

I was one of the three guys that traveled from Va for this hunt. I can say that it did not diminish my enthusiam for Kansas hunting one bit. I was humbled a bit by the experience but I am still enthusiastic about returning. There are some real nice folks in Kansas and we really appreciated...

Great pics ! I think I hate you. :laugh:

I'm an old guy that has been married 35 years. I was lucky to marry a country girl who came from a hunting family. She knew when we got married that I hunt as often as I can. My compromise is that I do not fish or play golf so after hunting season I'm all hers. It's worked so far.

Thanks for the info. Skittish does not bother me. I expect that during late season.

Wow, that puts a damper on my plans !

I haven't seen a total of six covies in the last 20 years in Va.

From an out of staters perspective I can say that January hunting in Kansas is great. Hardly any other hunters and still plenty of birds. The birds are smart but that just makes it more challenging. The only wild card is the weather. My buddy and I are planning our own January hunt with an eye...

Try www.dogbooties.com . They are boots that dog mushers use. I have used them a lot. They stay on and they are pretty inexpensive.

I'm just a hockey fan. The picture is of Alex Ovechkin.

It's interesting to me as an out-of-stater what constitutes good pheasant hunting to different people. I have been grouse hunting in Virginia for 35 years and for the last few years 5 flushes in a day of hard hunting would be considered a good day. I have visited the midwest from Montana to...

I'd move to Kansas if I were not married. The wife isn't so keen on the idea. I've traveled to a lot of states to upland bird and turkey hunt and Kansas is at the top of my list. Not just for the hunting, I think that the people there are the nicest of anyplace that I've hunted.
