Talking about going to Kansas in January to try to find some Bobwhite and Pheasants. Anyone hunt or live or have information in the South Central area south of Hays?

DO you find Quail in the northern part of Kansas?

Have quail in a few small pockets.

I live in north North Central Kansas. Our quail population seems really good this year. Pheasant is slim pickins.

We don't hunt quail much around here anymore, I'm sure there are more than one thinks, but they seem scarce. I have been seeing more the last few years though, but A LOT of leased land in these parts, hard to find places to hunt at times. East central KS

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no. I live south and west of Danny, and we have zero.

DO you find Quail in the northern part of Kansas? Not as many quail there as there are pheasants from my experiences there but I do not live there. I'd say there are definitely better places to go for upland than Kansas, but if I had to pick a place to go in Kansas it would be here The pheasant population has seemed really good in NW Ks were I deer hunt the last couple of years.
Gotta live up to the nickname...

I was talking to some guys and they said we're on our 4th hatch of pheasants this year, the bounty on nest predators and Covid really helped the birds. It's physically impossible for pheasants to raise more than one brood each year. If they loose their eggs, they may re nest, but lay less eggs, and have a lower hatch rate if they do.

That sounded suspicious to me too, Mark. But then, I'm a trapper and all I know about phesants is that they taste good!

[/quote] I learned a little about ground nesting birds and waterfowl trapping for Delta Waterfowl. Here they say the Canada geese are on their second or third brood. It does not happen.
