If you missed it last year, your chance at redemption is here. Once again, we have an opportunity to travel to KS for a weekend in some of the best pheasant country in the US. Doug Johnson has graciously offered us a place to stay for the weekend, and access to more than 20,000 acres of public and private pheasant habitat. 
While there's never any guarantee you'll get your limit of 4 roosters per day, there's more land than we can walk in 2 days, and this year promises a better harvest than last year! We'll leave Albuquerque Friday afternoon, Nov. 12, and come back Sunday afternoon the 14th. It's about a 7 hour drive from Albuquerque to Kismet, Ks. where we'll be staying. A Kansas non-resident hunting license will cost $72.50, and can be purchased online from the KWDP at: http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/Hunting/Applications-and-Fees.
Bring: – License – ID – HUNTER'S EDUCATION CARD. (REQUIRED, UNLESS YOU WERE BORN BEFORE JULY 1957) – A 12ga. (or 20ga.) shotgun, 2-3/4" shells and #6 to #7-1/2 lead shot is a pretty standard. load. – Blaze orange hat is highly recommended, as swinging on game out of your zone of fire is the number one cause of hunting accidents in KS. – Dress in layers, it could be 60 degrees and sunny, or 20 degrees and whiteout conditions w/ a foot of snow on the ground. We'll hope for the latter, minus the whiteout part. – Chaps, or upland type hunting pants are recommended, there are plenty of 'pokeys' that will penetrate regular denim fairly easily. If you don't have anything like this, let us know. – It's not uncommon to hike 5-8 miles in a day's hunt. Although it's generally level ground, a good pair of boots are desirable. Don't worry though, if you get tired, blockers at the end of the field are always helpful too. KS Regulations can be found here at: http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/Hunting/Hunting-Regulations.
