I've killed piles of them over pointing dogs.
All the way to the end of the Kansas season. Alll over the Flint and Smokey hills. All over the Cimarron, Gove, Logan, Barber counties
Even after the big flocks form.

They sit just below the peak of "hills" out of the wind.
They dig right into the grass on the short grass prairie.
Because of the wind, dogs can find them more than 50 yards away. A flock as far as 100.

The shots are long, but they are easy to kill. An oz of 5's will stone them at 50 yards.

I typically use an Ithaca Flues model with very light 32" barrels, Full and Full.

Pass shooting is the typical social way to shoot them, but there are plenty to be had walking them up.

If you are pass shooting, don't move. They'll land right around you. If you move too quick, they flare.


Out there doing it best I can.
