Guys, we hunted most of the time on public ground too. 

"Oh look, those guys just hunted that field"

"Welp, guess we may have to walk this field and one other to get our limit today"

Got these about an hour south of KC, but, let's be honest, I should have had my limit. Mallard migration should be starting pretty soon.  Get out there, Emo!

Basically all through the 90's and early 2000's 8-10 of us would hit our group limit on sat and sun.  Stopped around 04 because the bird population wasnt so hot and people started bow hunting instead.  5 years ago started pheasant hunting out around hill city.  Felt like the good ol' days.  But last 2 years were so-so.

Walked 6 miles saw 4 birds, 3 cocks and 1 hen.  Went home and was cleaning my bird and a lone quail landed in my yard.  Went inside and grabbed my BB gun and wasted that sucker.  10 pumps... one kill.   :gocho:

So I was in Western KS over the holiday and we visited some farmland that my dad will inherit. We were walking around and saw TWO separate groups of Pheasant in about 20 minutes.

I've never been Pheasant hunting before but some of my buds are pretty big into it, may pop my cherry next year.

Regarding KS Hunting licenses....Can you do this online or will I need to go to a 10 hour class?

No hunters ed so I will have to take that course emo, thanks!

Quick question for you emo...How much land would I need for Pheasant hunting? The land where we saw the pheasants is 480 acres or 3 quarter sections(as my dad calls them). 2/3 are farmed every year mainly dryland wheat, the other section stays fallow.

Is this enough land for a day of Pheasant hunting?

Eh, seems a little shy of what I'd like to hunt, especially if 2 of those quarters are kinda un-huntable.  But wherever it is you're probably close to some WIHA's where you can access private ground for free.  Also I bet once you talk to the neighbors and stuff you'll have more places.

This land is only about 2 miles from the rest of my grandparents land so I shouldn't have any problem finding more land.

How much area do you normally cover in say a 4hr period?

Depends, but we can cover a quarter section of mixed pasture/ag/woodland in about an hour.  CRP would probably be a little less.  But again, depends.  You can spend more time obviously if you're into birds the whole time.

went duck hunting for the first time on sunday.  we saw at shitload of geese and ducks (probably a thousand or so) but the pond we were hunting was iced over so not many of them landed.  we only came away with 2 ducks between 3 of us. 

also I'm a terrible rough ridin' shot right now.  :embarrassed:

: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.
Can you find out some more details on this? Based on end of October, it was bow season, correct? What did it score?

ok so apparently it's not even close to the state record.  it green scored at 238 1/8 and the kansas record for a non-typical is 280 4/8  (:horrorsurprise:) it's gonna crush the rice county record though.  also he shot it with a muzzle loader. :rolleyes:

anyway...here's an article:

Probly a total DNR but here goes.

Had to kill a cow a couple weeks ago.  I found she was trying to give birth but not having any success.  So I approached her from behind and things did not look right back there.  I walked her up to the alleyway and took her to see the vet.  Don't know how he figured this out but he said the calf had punched a hole in the cow's uterus and one of her stomachs. (WTF?! OUCH!).

 The calf was dead and the cow couldn't be saved.  I called the meat locker but they were booked for several days and this cow was fading fast.  Called my dad and bros and told them whoever helped me process the cow would get a share of it for free.  I shot her, my oldest bro jumped in, stuck her in the neck, and we wait for kicking to cease.  Dad attached the hanging tree to the hind legs and lifted her up with the loader tractor.  I gave her a good scrub down with the hose and brush, nice and clean.  Now to cut out the butthole... Umm there's a calf hanging halfway out of it.  Dad talked me through it somehow and it turned out ok.  Finished skinning and gutting her then hung her from the hoist in the shop.  Wrapped the beast with plastic and let it hang there for three days.

  Most of my bros and sisters helped process the meat the day after Thanksgiving.  I'm glad it wasn't a total loss and we were able to salvage the meat.  Plus we got to spend some extra quality Bloodfart time together.

sounds pretty grim, bloodfart.  killing a large mammal right up next to you and not trying to fight or flee or anything can't be easy.  i tried to kill a carstruck pronghorn with a shovel once and couldn't do it.

This story is probably about 15 years old or so, but sys reminded me of it.  So I was living in Wyoming at the time and my step-dad(he died 4 years ago RIP) taught me how to hunt.  Literally everything about it, guided me through hunters safety and all.  When I was 10 they lowered the legal age to hunt "big game" from 14 to 12.  So pretty much lucky me because I wanted to help the family survive and hunt big game.

Anyways it's the first day of hunting season for antelope, and I was super pumped.  I had been on hunts for about the 6 previous years and now was finally my time to get the big kill. We got up up around 4:30 and already had our gear laid out, we got dressed and headed out the door by 4:50, heading up the mountain in Tim's(my step-dad) limited edition John Elway Ford Bronco.

It was about a 40ish minute drive up to where we were hunting in the mountains(basically a huge valley with super high mountains on either side(that's where we hunted Elk)). The sun still hadn't risen but as soon as it did, THERE THEY WERE.  A buck and like 10 does, this dude was obviously a superbuck. I pumped one in the chamber(I have a .270 pump with a scope, not a puss .270 bolt action). They were about 300 yards away so we got out of the John Elway Bronco and snuck up on them. We got about 70-100 yards away and I found a nice rock to rest my scope on, I wasn't as huge as I am now so I needed to rest that heavy ass rifle on something. 

I looked into the scope and aimed straight for the heart, silence fell on the valley, I pulled the trigger and a boom rang out unto the heavens. That superbuck dropped like Michael J Fox on ice.  All the doe's scattered and we went and cleaned the superbuck, got him cleaned and loaded in the John Elway Bronco and were headed down the mountain and back home by 9:30AM on opening day, mom had biscuits and gravy waiting for us.
