Around Downs and Meades Ranch, Kansas, the pheasant numbers are pitiful. Not sure the reason, maybe a hail storm in the Spring? It would seem that around Norton to the West might be where the pheasant numbers pick up but we have found some 25+ coveys of quail w/ around 30 birds per covey. But they are like bumblebees in the wind when you are expecting pheasants. Also, the temperatures are not conducive for quail hunting the day long.

Cheers,
