It's been a long time since I've seen a Brittany on point.

We usually base out of Clay Center, and hunt public and private land in the area.

Nice pictures, there's nothing like a rooster cackling on a cool morning.

There’s a Clay Center in NE?

But seriously, Kansas.

There’s just one thing better:  a turkey gobbling on the roost at sunrise on a crisp April morning.

Great pictures!

Pheasants are cool, but prairie chickens are my favorite upland bird. I've never shot one because I like them too much.

I just now saw these. Amazing photos. Pheasant and quail hunting with my two labs is my favorite thing to do on this earth!

I just graduated from Kansas State University, so I know the country you hunted well.

I’m currently working on a farm / ranch in far western Kansas, and am seeing a lot of pheasants!

I thought I remembered you were a Kstater. Congrats on graduating and welcome to the club.

I have family in west KS and because of that I don't hunt pheasants anywhere else. You can swim in them out there. The tallgrass in central KS is where I see the most chickens. Just see so few of them I don't shoot them. Covey I've been around most is about 30 birds; I usually run into them deer hunting.

I am a Piccolo style deer hunter; I'm mostly there to enjoy the outdoors. If it's a year I want deer meat, I take the first ethical shot I have on a buck or doe, otherwise I walk around or just sit and watch them. Not a trophy hunter.

I've learned most people outside of KS think you're joking when you say prairie chicken and you have to explain them.

Awesome. We keep talking about going out west, but our urge to drive further after 19 hours is…diminished.

I leave in one week for this year's hunt.  20 hour drive I'll split over 2 days.  The guy pictured above is the guy who got me into bird hunting; this year marks the 25th anniversary of our first Kansas pheasant trip.

Hunting the same land, owned by the same farmers, knowing the terrain and local community almost makes it feel like a second home.  When we push a particular field, we KNOW where birds are most likely to get up.

My first pheasant!

Thanks for pointing me to this thread.

It really brings back my hunting days in Nebraska. The only difference is we didn't have dogs. We had permission on several very large farms to hunt and the farmers were very helpful. They would show us where the birds would likely be. We would form a line and walk the birds up/ Take some steps, stop, take more steps and every now and then talk loudly. It was slow covering ground but we never failed to get birds every time out.

When I returned home I hunted with my father who owned a brace of Brit's. We got a lot of birds. After a while I got a Brit. myself. She was one great dog. I used to claim she was part cat. When she hit scent she would slow down and and drop her front so she looked more like a cat on the prowl. I never new her to push a bird into running.  I miss her a lot.
