Kansas Pheasant Hunt
Hi John,
Just got back from opening weekend for Kansas pheasants. [location deleted] has some very nice properties, and my oldest son who just turned 10 was able to bag his first pheasant there. We saw many birds, which was a great help to a young hunter, and a nine-month old bird dog. They both learned a lot. Sunday we hunted some of the properties in [location deleted], and had success there as well. Overall it was a great experience!...The SW corner of [location deleted] held more pheasants than I have ever seen in my life...my son bagged his first bird...Thanks again for your help on the phone, and for making my son's first bird hunting season the memory of a lifetime....
Sincerely, Chris
Here's the pictures from our trip:
Chris and Kira with a nice bird.
Two days past his 10th birthday. What a present!
Brothers.
Kira's first pheasant retrieve at 9 months.
Too bad we're not deer hunting!
Let us tally what we have seen in this update: warm dry weather, standing crops, traveling in from out-of-state, on land never before seen/hunted, first year dog, a first hunt youth marksman and many smiles. Congratulations dad. Any time family pictures can be added to the album or the wall makes it worthwhile putting up with some of the nonsense life gives us. Looking forward to your next trip. Thank you for sharing your great pictures.
