I haven't been on this forum in a few years. I had plans many years ago for a pheasant hunt in ND that fell through and a couple of wishful thinking trips to KS that never materialized. Now with the 2 week weather forecast visible my plans are set.
I've read & gathered useful information from this forum from subjects ranging from weather to roads to ammo & many more. An acquaintance that I helped mentor to get his woodcock banding permit here in Michigan has graciously shared several locations from central to southwest KS where he's had success, all public, and I'm grateful.
My Llewellins have never smelled a quail, other than a couple coturnix as puppies, nor have they any idea what a pheasant is, lol! They're damn good ruffed grouse & woodcock dogs, have been successful on blues in Colorado as well. I expect they'll be a little confused when they hit the ground and see no forests or mountains but I'm realistically hopeful they'll learn rapidly.
I'll have five days to hunt starting with a couple of places during the drive down once I get to central KS.
Hopefully as this trip unfolds I'll be able to show some successful hunt pictures.
Included is a picture of my Llewellins, Rip & Trace.
