Awesome Dog Work, Terrible Shooting | Kansas 2024 Pheasant and Quail Hunt
Well what can I say? One of the best worst hunts I've ever had, LOL! Dream was an absolute bird finding machine on this trip but I unfortunately didn't hold up my end of the bargain. It was just point after point with her, on both pheasant and quail. I probably cut out about 20 hen points from this video to save some time. Enjoy some good dog work and have a good laugh at my expense! Time for me to hit the clay target range LOL!

Stay tuned until the end where she holds a covey for what felt like an eternity while Jake and I walk a long way to find her. En...

In this video Jake and Dream take a late season trip to a small town in Arizona smack dab in the middle of quail country. Dream really put it all together on this trip and was a bird finding machine! She was pointing birds left and right! We still have plenty of work to do with steadiness and retrieving but she is pointing birds and finding downed birds very well. I am really enjoying watching ...

A new era begins on the Kansas prairie. In this video we welcome Jake's new GSP Dream to the channel and honor Bliss, the dog that started it all. It was definitely a bittersweet trip without Bliss but I know she was right there with us hunting every field. We got into a decent amount of birds on this trip which was great for Dream's first big hunt. I was pretty rusty after not touching a shotg...

Quick video of a hunt that Bliss and I did recently in the mountains of Arizona. I parked my truck at the first spot I planned to hunt and almost immediately flushed a dusky! I thought I might be in luck...but we never saw that one again. Well many many miles later we finally found a second bird...this is how it got away. Maybe next time!

Great vid. Hard luck with the shooting but still great to see you chasing pheasants and bobwhites. I think this is the first bobwhite hunt I've seen online. Those guys hold like our Mearns, huh?
They do hold pretty well but they are a bit more willing to flush than mearns. Not quite as erratic when they flush either. Definitely one of my favorite birds to hunt.
Really nice video! New subscriber here
Thanks, appreciate the support!
12:30 "Good grief!" That guy flew right into the sun. Smart bird!
Love ya buddy! Great video!
Thanks abe! You da man!
Really good video! Keep it up man, you deserve more views and subs.
Thanks! Really appreciate the support!
Amazing
Just found this vid. Great to see you guys hunting ruffies, so cool. You made some amazing shots.
Thanks! Yeah that was a really fun hunt and we've been itching to do it again. It was a nice change up from dusky hunting!
Given that I camp twice a year - spring and fall - usually with a max high in the 60’s - for 2 days, this should be more than enough for me.
Nice work - Where do get your dogs from?
Thanks! Dream the GSP came from Outback Kennels in Kansas, Katy the Brittany is from Wingshooters Kennel in Kansas and Bogey the Brittany is a rescue that was originally from a hunting kennel in AZ (not sure which one). Not sure about any of the other dogs in the video.
Is that the 70?
Yep
Without giving too much info, you think you can help me find out what units I should look into? I’m in Phoenix az
From phoenix you have options in every direction. Plenty of birds in Tonto N.F. and theres quite a bit of BLM and state trust land outside of the valley. Usually the further you are from town the better but that's not to say there aren't closer spots that are good. If you have ONX you can add a layer to see land ownership...if you don't have ONX check out habimap.org. This is a free tool that also shows land ownership. Hunting near water or tanks is usually a good bet especially early season. Areas around washes and spots right at the base of a mountain are common areas we find birds.
Great hunt! I've found them on rocky hills like that too. I love it when the hike to a dog on point is worth it.
Hahaha yeah they really made us work for it this trip but like you said, totally worth it!
Awesome, you got out there and got some Gambels and scalies. What an adventure! That's some crazy terrain. What chokes are you using if you don't mind me asking? I was thinking about using improved cylinder and modified in my new side by side for Gambels.
Yep I use IC and Mod for desert quail
Thanks guys!@@WildernessIsBliss
Amazing scenery
Man I'd love to chase these sometime. Might have to run up north to give it a shot this season.
Always worth the trip in my opinion. At worst, you still get to explore some beautiful country!
Are you in the white mountains here?
Great vid. Beautiful country. Shooting grouse from trees is how the Alaskans hunt sooties with 22s. Also, saw Scandanavians hunting capercaillie the same way, so don't feel bad. You still had to find them and in AZ, that's the serious part of the hunt.
Hi, What kind of double barrel gun, and gauge, are you using ? Looks good with the wood forearm. Thx
It's a CZ upland ultralight all terrain. I've had it for about 2 years and am very happy with it
What hunting area were you guys in?
Thank you. I just bought one and was curious how it would do in southern utah.
BRO 6.24... THATS A WILD SHOT TO TAKE.. WTF
12 or 20ga?
Boys after a rain is the best.. or a bad bad early snow even better
Oh jeeze, so sorry man. She lives forever through your channel. God, I've loved the vids you made with her.
Thank you for the kind words!
Your vids are about all there is on dusky hunts out there. Great job!
Thanks! Hoping to add a few more dusky hunts to the channel this year if all goes well.
Sitting in the back of my truck in the sun the whole time in 100+ degree heat it lasts 2 days for me, got mine at Costco for 150$ would definitely recommend this cooler
Nice! I still need to make it to KS someday!
Definitely worth the trip! Bird numbers can fluctuate quite a bit from year to year but I always enjoy it. I pretty much go every year during the first week of the season and sometimes January as well. If you plan a trip feel free to reach out and I would be happy to share my 2 cents...or if we end up out there at the same time maybe we can meet up!
All the compare coolers reviews are fine. But, an actual use test is more helpful in my humble opinion.
I get free ice,but I need it to make atleast 3 days when I go on road trips..this is perfect for me
Seems like a perfect weekend camp cooler. I think yetis are a little overkill for those of us who rarely camp more than 3 days at a time
NEXT TIME YOU MAKE A VIDEO A REVIEW VIDEO ON A TENT WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE THE FUCKING BIRDS AT HOME
You might like our hunting videos then...we bring those birds home 😂
Great rewiev. Btw This dome shape on sides is wierd. Isnt it to short? Can the rain reach the inner tent ?
Glad you enjoyed the review. I've been in this tent during many rain storms and have never gotten a drop of water inside. The dome design seems effective
Don't be stupid
I just ordered these for work I use minimalist shoes outside of work and love them. So can't wait to try them at work . Nice review. Much appreciated.
Glad to help! Let us know what you think after working in them for a while.
Block ice would have lasted a lot longer. At around 5C, I would be still using this cooler (sans your deli meat pollution) for a day more at least. My products are home vac sealed and would last a couple more days after this easy. 15C (60F) beers are not a concern in warm weather. Great demo vid though. I picked up the 66L/70qrt one today to relace a cheap one I had for decades.
Need a new tent for my family this year. We are looking at 6 person tents (5 people + dog). We’ve had the rei basecamp 4 forever. It’s been a great tent so we are also looking at that one. 2 years since your review. Do you still like the msr? Also we camp a lot and live in the Rockies.
I still love the MSR. Used it a few weeks back during a weekend of heavy rain and stayed bone dry. All of the components are holding up well so far. Hope whatever you go with works out well for you!
Been up that trail many times, I've Lived in Payson 36 years. Horton springs is special, the Wife and were legally married there. 😊
What shotguns are y’all toting? Gauge and make please? Just curious, thanks.
Toting a CZ all terrain and a Fair jubilee prestige tartaruga gold. Both 20 gauge
Your dusky grouse hunt videos are great. They're the only ones I've found. I really would like to get out to Kaibab or the White Mountains here in AZ one of these seasons. I hear they're really good eating.
Glad you've enjoyed the videos! Duskys are very good eating!
Barrel length don’t increase accuracy in shotguns. It points better when it’s longer. The choke controls the spread the same on an 18in as a 24in.
that bird dog needs some work..
Thanks for the feedback @williemickbillie ...this was her first quail hunt and we were very happy with her work
I think Dream did great. Of course only you have to be happy since you buy the dog food and pay the vet bills !@@WildernessIsBliss
Without giving away your spot, can you elaborate on what part of southern Arizona you were in? Southeast? Southwest? How far from the border?
Question... Is Kansas worth the time and expense to plan a bird hunting trip?
Well I go every year but Ive got family out there and a good amount of private land to hunt. I guess it would depend on how far of a drive it is for you and what youd be passing to get there. Bird numbers can vary quite a bit from year to year but its usually at least decent. If youre only hunting wiha it will definitely be tougher but you can still have a good trip. Its about 9-12 hours for me depending on where I go so not too bad of a drive.
Very cool hunt. How do you like your CZ?
I'm very happy with it, especially for quail and grouse. I'll do an in depth review before long. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice work boys!!
Planning a trip to Kansas from Virginia the first week of January. Any tips or info you’d be willing to pass along or is there any way I could get in touch with you? We’re trying to decide on which WIHA unit to focus on, mostly for quail but wouldn’t mind taking a few pheasants as well. Awesome videos and dog work!
Thanks! Sounds like you are gonna be more in the eastern part of the state? I haven't gone much further east than Hays. About 90% of the fields I hunt are private. We didn't walk a single wiha during this video. Wiha is very hit or miss. I would definitely try to get an idea of what it might look like on maps beforehand but that isn't always accurate. Most wiha is grass and if they are near crops they will probably hold birds. Sometimes driving in il stop and hit a few...really just gotta drive around and check them out in person. I have a few good ones throughout the state that ive found just driving around stopping at fields that look promising but ive walked plenty of duds over the years. Good wihas near a town get found out about quick and get hit hard. Getting away from town and the highway is usually the best bet to find some good fields that arent pressured.
Nice video. That first bird is actually a prairie chicken
Thanks! You're right. Was wondering about that during the hunt
It’s crazy you can distinguish the birds gender so quickly when they’re flying!
On the video it looks harder than it is in person. Between the color difference and the length of the roosters tail, you can usually pick it up pretty quickly. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed!
Love it! Great video!
Where can i buy a Midland shotgun?????
Online
Finally found a decent blue grouse hunting vid! I just finished up my first successful hunts on sooty grouse last week. The male sootys I got are even larger then the Duskys you got here. Wonder if you just got younger birds here or if the sooties are just bigger.
These were definitely younger birds. I thought the last hen may have been older at first but now I dont. We've bagged a few that were much bigger since this video. We definitely want to go after sootys one of these years too!
Don't use a footprint.
