Today I pick up my new Grade III (Not the IV that I wanted) Uggie and Thursday load my Versitile Birddog Ariana (Portuguese Pointer), and head 8 hours to the wild environs of Iowa!
The land where the pheasants fly free (If you don't count the $100 bucks for the license) and always flush to my gun in easy crossing shots.
I should get a few pictures of the dog working, as this is her first trip with me. And god willing a few of the birds before and on the plate. Yummy.
There is a small patch of public ground that we will probably run through that requires no-tox. Does anyone know a place in KC or DesMoines that might have a box or two of Bismuth, Tungston etc?
I've convinced my wife that with a new birddog that I need to hunt about every other weekend to get her ready for the next season.
After the Iowa pheasants (towo trips within two weeks) I head to OK, KS and TX for quail, and prairie chickens. I love this time of the year-- New Gun, New Dogs, New gear, and old broken in waterproof boots!
I'll let you know how well I did, or lie about how well I did.

Ash, you could try the Cabelas in KC. They are on the west side of town on the loop. You can get driving directions from their website.
Good luck and safe shooting!
