Traveling Hunters

For those coming to Kansas for their wild Bobwhite Quail hunting we understand what it means to be a traveling quail hunter. We will seek to get quail hunter to the right spot where to park his truck, step out and go Kansas quail hunting.

This Kansas quail hunting article runs the length of detail that delivers many nuances. More specific quail hunting topics are at left.

We can accomplish this type of quality quail hunting without guiding the Kansas quail hunter simply due to our being pointing dog quail hunters ourselves. That advantage combined with that we are out on the Kansas lease land 12 months each year, as this is our sole occupation, gives us direct boots on the ground experience within the better quail hunting localities.

Each Kansas hunter on his first quail hunting trip will be walking onto private ground where he has not personally met with the landowner. Most quail hunters will feel a little twinge in their gut when doing so as all want to be legal and not offend any trespassing laws. All will get over this feeling as the maps we issue are as clear as Kansas State can make them and are the very same maps the county sheriff, local utility Co-Ops and real estate agents use to navigate the Kansas country side.

The Kansas maps are not yet perfect as some will experience the frustration that almost half of the Kansas counties now have county road signs and have named the roads in compliance with the 911 emergency response system. The Kansas State drawn road maps lag behind the road signs and while present on the ground the Kansas road maps do not all yet have the road names posted. Once Kansas refines their maps so will we.

Using our issued hunting land maps with acreage posted we mark the corner posts and 1/2 mile posts of the properties with our signs that will give the quail hunter the confidence he is on the right hunting lease.

We will offer extensive pictures of our Kansas quail hunting habitat both during season with its brown drab looks as well as these fall pictures that show better the variety of cover.

This picture well inside of a lease shows a likely place to start quail hunting. A Kansas milo field after harvest ringed by grass and brushed in fence line and tree line. The better edge running dog would automatically cast down the edge and dive into those unseen scent cones. The easy field edge walking and about 50/50 blue sky or woods shooting will make for a good covey flush followed by a few singles points. The ideal would be to split the covey to have some birds to hunt on the return walk to the truck.

Covey & Singles

With quail hunters coming from a good many states we receive and listen to much feedback about the variance in quail hunting experiences as described about Kansas.

Kansas quail hunting advantage
includes more dog on quail point action.

The one Kansas quail hunting comment that stands out the most frequent comes from the many covey only quail hunters that tell of their state lacking the single quail point action after the covey flush. What they experience in the central midwest while quail hunting is quite different with much singles points after the covey flush as most prior to this experience were covey flush shooters only.

These quail hunters comment on the frenzied dog work they get to watch as their dogs seem to be in quail heaven working singles for the first time. This is the point in time many of these quail hunters find that one quail dog is plenty, two dogs make the hunter to work more than desired by walking fast between points and three quail dogs even for two hunters a bit much.

What is more interesting is that these same hunters find the more enjoyable hunts of more than one dog on the ground at a time to be best with dogs that back, steady to point, flush, wing and shot, breaking only on command. Anything less and dogs will be flushing birds well before the hunter is set to shoot.

This is the best criteria for the number of dogs on the ground at one time during any hunt. A covey of 20 birds will easily yield 3 to 6 singles points for a single dog and more with a brace. Having more dogs on the ground will only serve the hunter if they are steady to break on command.

Within this section we have gone heavy into the habitat pictures. Just to show that our self guided hunters do harvest birds we put this one in. Not a limit, just a good field day.

Jerry sent this in. He is one our our long time hunters with more knowledge of more covey locations than most. He is also a member of the one bird in the bag per covey club.
