2008-Kansas Opener

The Hunt for Pheasants was tough this year. South Western Kansas experienced early drought, followed by record rains in October- 4.94", thus causing a later than usual harvest. Late harvest means that the birds where hiding in the corn and milo vice the CRP.

Opening morning started at the WIHA. Air temps where in the high 30's with no wind. I repeat no wind in the second windiest place in the CONUS. There where two dogs this year, Sadie and Gus. Without those dogs I don't think we would have been able to get the two birds we did. Tango Victor.

By the end on the first morning the group had a total of 3 birds. The afternoon proved better with the invoking of the strategy to push through corn rows on the "B"s, thus resulting in 7 more birds.

Day two proved better with 16 roosters and a competition for the coveted title of "HEN-CHESTER" After stiff competition Herman came out on top of the wall of shame.
