:thumbs: Looks pretty thick! Where abouts did that killing take place? I have buds here in NC that dream of hunting in KS. I want to show them those photos and tell them how close it was to where I grew up.
according to my estimates on google maps, it was about 200 feet outside lawrence city limits and about 2000 feet south of I-70.

if you really want to make them jealous, show them this picture.



 I have no idea who that is other than a friend of a friend of mine.  I was told it was shot near the end of october somewhere outside of sterling, kansas.  apparently it green scored as a pending state record.  they have to let it dry before it's official.

The Smokey Hills brood survey indicated a year-over-year decrease of 40 percent.  Only 0.17 birds per mile.  :frown:

Compare that to the entire state of South Dakota:

The 2013 report indicates an index of 1.52 pheasants per mile, down from 4.19 pheasants per mile last year.

My dad's ground in south east Reno county.  Our group will have about 20 guys.  We'll walk 3 miles of hedge rows, 2 fifteen acre pastures then hit the milo fields which could last all day if we feel like it.

I can hear the little rascals crowing out there every evening so there's something out there.  Hopefully all the moisture this year helped them rebound.   :crossfingers:

500 acres of crp, surronded by alfalfa fields and corn and bean fields.  I'm optimistic

Their gizzards are always full of wheat and milo around here.  I've never really seen any corn or beans in there before but what do I know.

Any good reports out there?  Had one good report from McPherson, but the guy that told me is typically full of crap, so I don't believe a lot of what he says.

Pretty sad how far the bird numbers have fallen since 2010.

Wife was back visiting her grandparents this weekend, north of Salina, and all reports she heard were that birds were pretty thin again this year.   :frown:

Didn't start hunting till early 2000's, but I remember then a few college kids could walk around without dogs and kill their share.  I remember some great years around 2006-2008.  I kinda lament taking older people hunting because all they do is talk about how great it used to be.  Buncha Nancy Neg's.  I've been trying to diversify to get more out of the outdoors in these lean bird years, like deer hunting and calling yotes.  Might go on my first proper duck hunt soon.

Piles and piles.  Limiting out was nothing.

When I was an early teen, part of me didn't like hunting because it used to take so long to clean all of the birds I knew we would shoot every single time we went out.

YES! We never went pheasant or quail hunting. We went bird hunting! And hunting? More like slaying!
