Kansas Quail Hunting

[Harold Pickens]

Optometrist friend of mine just got back from quail hunting in Kansas, his first time there and hunting public and WIHA land. He moved one covey per day.He didn't do very good, but was unguided and has one lab. I love labs, but a bigger running dog (setters for me) needed to cover more territory out there. Was in Alton. Was thinking about a late season Kansas hunt myself, but headed back to South Dakota mid January.

Harold, I have a friend that spends the entire quail season in Central Kansas and hunts public ground most every day. He said the bird numbers are good this year but added that he's never seen so much pressure on the public land around him.
