It looks like I am finally going to go see what Kansas is like. I have thought about it for oh say 20 years and always wanted to hunt bobwhites like Dad spoke of way back when I took an interest in doing so and he no longer could.
Of course, my goals are more than just bobs. There is the matter if the 14 years since I last watched a prairie chicken fly out of sight; not to mention pheasants, snow geese, and whatever else I find. I am excited to say the least.
Well, its time to load up the guns and a few last items before latching up the camper. I don't do the smart phone thing, so...chat with you all later! If you see this rig and a border collie in north central Kansas...

I got good reports from my buddy on the bobwhite hunting in western Kansas. You should have a great hunt, but above all, be safe. |

I don't miss many of the firearms I've sold over the years, but I do miss the '78 Ford pickup that looks a lot like yours that I sold in 1993. Every time I see one, I wish I had it back. |

Have a great hunt. I never hunted Kansas but I have been in the Dakotas. I hope you find some wild bob whites. From what little I know of hunting them they are rapidly vanishing from their native states. When I was a kid we had them in Michigan but even then the numbers were greatly diminished.
Good Hunting,
Mike |

Best of luck. My son and I went last year for our first time to Kansas. We really enjoyed it. My father and I will be headed out that way in mid December. |

There wasn't much cold to escape from until the day I left! Then it got cold. Zero degrees when I pulled into Sutherland, Nebraska to camp that night. I was glad I had heavily insulated my camper for severe weather use. |
