I live in SW MO. About 30 miles south of Springfield. Buddy brushhogging on my land sent me this today. Kind of odd I thought, as I don't know of any preserves that are relatively close to my place. I walked out to look at this one and couldn't get a good look as it was pretty skittish and fast. He did tell me he saw a rooster while mowing someone else's place not too far from mine, but who knows. We did leave some cover for this lady to hide in, but with coyotoes around here, I...

So... against my best judgement I decided to head out for the opener. It's been around 5 years since I have done that.... I wanted to get a mixed bag so I went to the closest place to my home that offers that chance, but unfortunately it isn't too big (less than 200 acres). Anyhow, I get there darn near an hour before shooting light and a few guys beat me to it. We were parked in the only designated parking spot on the entire CA area. About 10 minutes before shooting light we notice a truck... Read more ..read more

BRD11 I've been searching this forum for other quail/pheasant hunters from MO (for now). I have had an idea to bring more quail to more quail hunters for some time and would like to share these thoughts with this fold of members. I have been a former member of QU & QF and quit because of the lack of participation I saw within the chapters. These are great organizations if you are trying to raise money, but was not as impressed with the results of putting more quail in the field for ,US, the... Read more ..read more
