Abbreviated KS opening weekend report:

1. Drove 3-1/2 hours to seedy motel in north central KS.

2. Saturday hunted private land and some walk in. One hen sighted.

3. Sunday morning both dogs sprayed by skunk. Went to dispatch Mr. LePew, gun wouldn't fire.

5. Drove 3-1/2 hours home with windows open.

6. Spent rest of day cleaning and re cleaning.

7. Today spent $90 to have the car interior cleaned.

You'll remember that triptrip for awhile and get plenty of milage out of it. Good times !

You're right. Wounds are a little fresh right now though.

Don't expect duck hunting to be much better. We have caught blinds on fire, dealt with leaky waders, lost a number of things in the water from guns to wedding rings, truck and trailer troubles galore, and many days with no birds.

I was hoping to read that you had found a bunch of birds in KS. I've heard the habitat is much better, but the bird numbers are not.

I hate skunks...

I've read quite a few reports of people getting into birds, including quail this year. There was quite a bit of shooting early Saturday a mile north of me in a WIHA. I think the numbers are up, but that's relative.

I saw 7 hens and one rooster in NW Missouri weekend before last. I missed.

I'm hoping that occurred over many years?

Sounds like a great time. Any pictures?

Just scenery.

It would have been awesome to have a hidden camera in the room when the maid walked in.
