Went for a Drive

[topher40]

Went for a drive last night for about an hour before sunset and was invigorated by what I saw! I was able to spot 3 separate healthy coveys with 15-25 birds each along the roads. These were all on grounds that I hunt and train on. As of now I havent been able to train much due to an accident and the crops are still in so I havent been able to get out INTO the fields so this was nice to see. I also saw 6 singles on the sides of the roads. Should be a great year this year!

I drive about 5mi to feed cattle I've been seeing several singles and pairs.

I have been seeing singles and pairs all spring and summer, my point was that these birds are starting to covey up and create communities.

Thats good to hear Chris especially since the rest of Kansas is looking pretty poorly from what I have been hearing.....

Does anyone have a forecast or experience with the NW (Wakeeney) part of Kansas? I hope to get out there right after Thanksgiving. I've had some success with quail and pheasant there in the past.

I have land in that area, not expecting much. Farmer seen hardly any birds during wheat harvest. Advised us it's not worth making the trip. A friend is in that area this weekend for dove, says it looks terrible.

That's a good report and similar to what I've seen around here the last couple of days.

I am cautiously optimistic that this season could be an improvement over the last couple, of course that wouldn't be saying a lot.
