After a great morning(100+ birds seen) walking for prairie chickens on Sunday, I am getting so excited for pheasant/quail! I believe that the NGPC is correct on their survey in my area, with pheasants being down and quail up. In late Sept.

One special note at the outset here: the further along I get in this process, the more indebted I feel to Lee (hexrod on this forum). Lee is a bamboo fly rod maker in Lincoln and his advice and guidance has become essential to me! I’m not sure if Lee still visits the forum, but if so, thanks Lee!!!

So anyway…...
