SW KS at one time, rivaled SD. Its over now with severe drought, but having hunted both SD and KS, Kansas was unbelievable and allowed 4 rooster bag limit. Access was simple and the WIHA stuff was great too. Lots of pheasants and quail. SD certainly had a lot of pheasants but access was much much tougher.
The simple fact now is pheasants are struggling nearly everywhere. Large scale drought, loss of CRP to haying and grazing or contract expiration have hugely reduced suitable habitat. Its got nothing to do with overhunting, its 100% habitat related.

You are both correct. Pheasants raise one clutch a year if they are lucky. When you see different sizes of pheasant chicks standing in the road together, look closely, there are multiple hens there. Pheasants nest until they hatch a brood or body condition says no more eggs. They will try up to 4 times in a season, but they don't kick week old offspring to the curb to start the nesting process over. The idea of 2nd hatches etc is commonly accepted so don't feel bad, but it just ain't true.
Pheasants are awesome on the dinner table though. Good post

Rookie on the power trowel I'd say. Level is fine if it's done right.

I never seen an outdoor concrete pad that was level....they did not use a power trowel...it was done in house by maintenance/park rangers. When they built a new guard shack at the entrance they framed it, put the windows and doors in and then put the wall sheathing over the window/door flanges. Talk to them and they will tell you how expert they are at everything...

The number one job of Wildlife and Parks here in KS is to sell licenses. There has been some great programs in the past that get discontinued. Two biggies come to mind, Pheasant hatching and walleye rearing.
Ask them about rabbit, prairie chicken and quail decline, HABITAT, they all shout. But there is PLENTY of unchanged habitat the animals have disappeared from. Plenty.

Nobody from the state wants to talk about no worms or bugs anyplace with row crops. They dont want to talk about fewer bugs even where there are no row crops either. June here in Burg , at night, there would be tens of thousands of blinking lightning bugs. Now you dont see many at all. I dont see bees in my yard on the dandelions anymore either. Good luck finding a muskrat turd or a mink track any place around here. Turkey numbers are declining also. I think that goes back to the no bug thing
