I've tried to champion this cause in the past, but have had no response from the ODW.Reason is, not enough people are getting on board as they have never been on a WIHA and don't understand the principal.In KS the landowner can put X# of acres in the WIHA and recieve a cash reward for it. Some do it for the money, some do it because they can put the signs on their land, and don't have to mess with 20 people a day coming to ask permission. There is a lot of hunting pressure on the WHIA's early in the season. We did it late season, and still had a little luck with 40mph winds.  We didn't limit out, but we did kill birds. At the motel, we had hunter groups from Colo, Neb, Ok, Tx, Nm. I understand in the early season, they come from all over the U.S. as Ks, and Ok, and Tx are the last bastillions of quail. I loved this town as every business had a big "Welcome hunters" sign on their front door. They make their money from us and they know it. The morning lobby was filled with camo, and quail field gear. People were moving up and down the hallways with cased shotguns, and there was not a eyebrow raised.Bird dogs are allowed in the room with a $10 extra charge. How good is this?<img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />That being said, I've stated before that I would like to see this.  Also being the devils advocate, If Ok did this walk-in program would we attract so many out of staters that it would be a detriment to the locals??I'm really interested in your opionions. Please post a reply, and no matter what the result is, we will submit them to the ODW. No editing, nothing.</blockquote>
