- Last weekend was the opener for pheasants in Kansas, and it was not
- very successful for most hunters. We hunted in Russell county with 13
- hunters and 3 dogs, but only managed to bag 6 pheasants. Compared to
- last year when we had 28 birds and two years ago we had our best year
- ever with 48. Those years I believe we only had 12 hunters, but can't
- remember for sure. Of course, we did miss a few that we should have
- got, but the pheasant population is obviously down. Alot of milo
- still hadn't been cut, which I'm sure did not help our situation, but
- shouldn't have made this drastic a difference. One positive note
- though is that the Quail population in Kansas is coming up a little.
- We got 20 quail, without really making a real strong effort to find
- them, mostly happened upon them while looking for pheasants. Have not
- talked to anyone so far with a group larger than 4 that managed to get
- more than one bird a piece in this general area of the state. Did
- anyone else do much better?
