[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3912709, member: 27673"] Ancient history winters of 1975 & 1976.......age 25 and 26. In between overseas jobs and working in Wichita, Kan. a fella from work and I used to hunt the public land around Marion Reservoir about an hour or so drive NE from Wichita every Sat. and Sun. Don't know how it is now but back then the state planted milo plots here and there around the lake and they always held [B]a lot[/B] of wild (not planted) pheasants and we'd always get our limit with the occasional rabbit or two thrown in.......no dog we just spread apart and zig zagged back and forth through the milo. We'd never hunt opening weekend but instead we'd wait a couple of weeks and let the birds calm down. Three years ago my current duck hunting buddy got a free trip to Kansas on a hunting preserve and although three of them easily got their limits he said that it wasn't that hard to do because the birds had only been released a day or two prior to the hunt and it wasn't much more of a challenge than hunting chickens and he hasn't been back since. I haven't had the opportunity to hunt pheasants since my days in Kansas but I've got a lot of good memories. [/QUOTE]
