Concur with hearing good reports, prior to season I saw more quail and believed a good season was in the offing.
However my luck this year was poor in territory that in the distant past were excellent and over the last four years have declined.
I am only reporting what I experienced this year

Thanks for the report Chuck. I'm in Sierra Vista and have thought a few times of crossing over the border for some Mexican food. Maybe AZ/Mex food will have to do for now.
Are you doing any quail hunting down here? I've been chasing after mearns in the Huachucas but it's tough. You need to be half mountain goat when you go after those sadistic little b---d's.

Larrys point is well Taken...This should have been Titled "In my part of Kansas" Kansas is a very big state. I primarily hunt the NW corner, Cheyenne, Sherman and Rawlins counties...With an Occasional foray into Southern Nebraska when the boundaries become clouded...

 I took a road trip from Va to San Diego. Spent a little time hunting WIA Kansas along I40. I was hoping to see some prairie chickens with no luck. I did see a lot more quail than in Va. Found these two roosters near liberal KA.I stopped in Sierra Vista to see an old friend. Nice town. This weekend I went to imperial county to hunt Dessert quail with no luck.

As some of you have said, I had hopes for KS this year. Opening weekend, I hunt private land out near Ellsworth. The birds weren't great.
After opening weekend, I hunt WIHA areas in NW KS. WIHAs that were good over the last few years were pretty poor this year. Not sure if it was because it's been warm or just low bird numbers. I didn't see a lot of hunters out hunting these areas.
