I'm finally planning my first out of state DYI public land hunt in almost 4 years...
I've settled on Kansas, with Pheasant and Quail of course as my target species. I've never hunted the state so I feel ill prepared to say the least! I will be taking my father on his first pheasant hunt since he grew up in Nebraska and shot them in corn fields as a kid. Obviously I'm hoping to make it a special 4-5 days with him and my 4 year old Brittany. We are looking at mid November and currently trying to narrow our search area and gain any and all knowledge possible prior to the trip. I'm hoping some of you wouldn't mind offering advice on WIHA as well as other public land opportunities, lessons learned, etc.
Just some side information,
-We will be taking a RV/motor home, and a truck, thus very mobile to change locations.
-Both in good shape and shouldn't have any difficulties reaching public land opportunities less pressured (should those actually exist)
- My Brittany has limited experience with quail and really performed well when we find a lost covey but none on pheasant or running birds (woodcocks are behave like a proper game bird none of that running stuff
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
- Wouldn't mind paying for access to private property for a hunt or two in the beginning but would like to hunt with my dog.
I don't have a lot to offer in return unless someone is interested in chasing mudbats in Louisiana swamps, to those select few who may be, I'd be happy to re-pay the favor pointing you in the right directions in my neck of the woods. Just hoping to dredge up as much information as I can, thanks for the time!
