Great dog, big impact on the sport and very deserving IMO!

Nick, It's true that I try and help my fellow man escape the misery of missouri when ever I can!!!

You won't want to stay near KCI, it's quite a ways north of downtown. There are lots of hotels in Johnson county on the Kansas side within 30 minutes of downtown in Overland Park, Lenexa and Olathe if you have a hard time finding something downtown that fits what you're looking for.

National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic, February 17, 18 & 19, 2012 Kansas City Convention Center at Bartle Hall. I've always wanted to go and I am very happy they're having it in KC this year!

I also couldn't view the whole picture until down sized. Good looking Britt!

Shambo's Dark Shadow deserves mentioned on this thread!

Give Gary at Quail creek a call, if he doesn't have them he can point you in the right direction. www.quailcreekhunts.com

I will put Louisiana up against any state for woodcock!!

Cajun, are you sure those aren't mosquitoes you're shooting?

I'm sold on the Yildiz. My brother has a Mossberg Silver and it miss fires, my Yildiz has never had a problem of any kind.

ACooper wrote: Kansas hands down, probably more total game birds harvested yearly in KS than any other state. Pheasants, quail (bobs and blue), also huntable populations of prairie chickens. Here's the numbers I found for pheasant harvest for 2008 Kansas: 680,000 South Dakota : 1.9 mil Kansas Quail...

That is great news!

For me and my dogs we love nothing more than hunting the Bobwhite Quail!

jayhawkj

I love my Brittany's but if I lived in West Texas instead of Kansas, I'd own Pointers. jmo

I start mine wearing one when we're out on a walk or doing yard work at around 4-5 months. I introduce collar stimulation at a low level at around 6 months and I utilize the perfect start method of introduction.

Great looking pup!

Nick you selfish *#%*, I expect an invite for mydogs and me next year! Why should you have all the fun?

Dang if that's not the truth!

BDZ strikes me as a guy I would love to hunt with!

Look at the bright side, you have a 5.1 percent chance of staying where you are!

Let me answer that for your Doc, the answer is Now, so you'll be ready for next fall!

A closed mind is a truly ignorant mind. :roll: You're barking up the wrong tree, I have no problem with FT games, I was just surprised at the low percentage provided by the OP.

could someone at least answer the original question? I take it you aren't really interested in the real answer. unlike yourself, I don't talk just to hear myself. If I took the time to type the question then I was wanting someone to explain the lack of a legitimate answer! I think BB has offered an...

This is a good topic, I have always fed extra the evening before a hunt and then not again until after the hunt. My reasoning is my fear of bloat, perhaps it's not a concern I need to worry about but I've just never wanted to chance it.

jayhawkj

Nickell, Nice pictures and a couple of fine looking dogs! I also did a preserve hunt yesterday down at Quail Creek in Prescott KS. I have two Brittany's with the youngest being 9 months old, and the preserve hunt can be a great training tool due to the ability to stage the hunt (type of cover) Gary ...

jayhawkj

I'm jealous, sounds like a great time! What's the terrain and cover like down there and what did you see there that explains the bird numbers being so much better than other areas (Kansas) that you've hunted?

jayhawkj

This is a very good idea!

jayhawkj

There is nothing better for me than to be hunting Quail with my 15 year old son and my 2 brittany's. If the Quail would come back here in Eastern KS I would probably only hunt pheasants once or twice a year but as it stands now pheasant offer me the chance to pursue a more abundant wild bird hunt. I...

jayhawkj

I've always used frontline.

jayhawkj

I doubt I ever have own a different breed other than Brittany's but if I did it would either be a EP or a English setter.

Here's a recommendation for you in Kansas, Chad Bloomer at www.bloomerkennels.com

Chad does a great job, and as someone who has used him in the past and will be using him on another dog this summer, I highly recommend him.

I have 2 Yildiz. 1 in 12 gauge and 1 in 20 gauge. I have had the 12 for about 3 seasons and the 20 for about 2 seasons and have never had them fail on me. The 20 is still so tight even after 2 seasons that my wife shot it the other day on some skeet and asked me what was wrong with it. Why is it st...

I think you'll find that your brittany pup will not only become a fine bird dog but also a family member. I have two brittany's and they truly have become a part of the family, they have quite the personality!

My 7 month old pup Buddy has his paws crossed!

Full disclosure: I produce a bird hunting show on the same network. Now, I can let loose. The one episode I watched had: 1. Shooting from a road 2. Shooting over a road 3. Running with a loaded gun 4. Pointing a loaded gun at camera operator and other hunters 5. "Hunting" while standing next to a N...

I know there are a lot of posts about hunting Kansas and I think I have read them all several times. But I still have a few questions. I am in the process of planning a hunting trip to Kansas this year and have a few questions for the people that have been there before. From what I have been readin...

Make sure you wear lots of orange (hat and vest) and you'll not have a problem with the deer hunters. The best time? There's not a bad time IMO!

jayhawkj

You'll be fine out west, just make sure you stop and get a walk in book from Kansas fish and game, I can't tell you how helpfull they are. I'd try to pinpoint the smaller fields, you'll do some driving around searching, but you'll find very good fields and see lots of birds. My 15 year old son and I...

jayhawkj

I'd suggest you head west on I70 to at least Hays, if you base in Hays you will find plenty of walk in land either north or south to hunt. WaKeeney, Hill city or Norton are also excellent choices to base out of. If you are a single hunter you may find some of the walkin fields overwelming. If you ar...
