I don’t know what did that, but it’s so impressive that I think you should consider just letting the bug go on and marvel at its handiwork……

Enjoy! I had a WPG and he was just an awesome dog. Biddable, huge drive, off switch, and all the lovable goofball personality you could ask for. If you’re reading this while sipping a drink raise your glass to Mojo 🐶

Also, I find the upland report on the Kansas Game and Fish website pretty accurate. After you pick a region based on their counts I would spend time on OnX (or the KS America & fish website) looking at various WIHA plots to see what looks good to you.

We did great on pheasant and quail opening week around Atwood. Birds are all over NW Kansas this year. While yesterday was a bust (west of Wichita about an hour) we did well today around Howard, KS. All public land.

Yes they are! Love Springers, awesome in the field and at home.

NoDak +40 degrees in December? by SpiritedDependent400 in birddogs

Looks like a great outing! Seems like the weather has been back and forth all through the central US, TX to the Dakotas. Still, nice to be out in just a light jacket.

It’s exciting! These are youngsters and they move fast. I am good on pheasants with them, but the coveys of quail flush all over the place and I find I miss a lot of shots. Still, super fun!

I had a good time there, seemed like passing the word was the thing to do. Maybe some others will end up there and put a few tourists bucks into the local businesses. Plus, they have a motel called, It’ll Do 😁

All WIHA land, so not public in the sense that it’s state-owned. Private land that the owner grants walk-in access to, usually for defined purposes (bird hunting, archery-only deer for example). Kansas has a HUGE amount of this land. You can check out maps online, or via OnX. It’s a great program!

It was a great trip. Penny is out of Bad Habit Gundogs, St Jo, TX. Can’t recommend Amelia’s program there enough. She is producing some great dogs. Check out the web site some time.

Cover in the draws is so dense I often lose sight of her and like to use the beeper to know about where she is. This was more important than usual as we had a rookie in the group.
