He has taken hunter safety and does a better job than a lot of adults I have met with safe handling of a firearm. <br /><br /> We just returned from a opening weekend trip to North Dakota. Bird populations are good where we were hunting. The amount of cover for the pheasants and the availibility of places to hunt make it a wonderful trip. (In North Dakota private land can be hunted if it is not posted without tracking down the owner). The area we live in (here in Kansas) has very little cover left (most CRP in the area is out), and very little WALK in ground availiable. I would like to know how individuals can help improve those situations so I can help my son get started on something he can really get behind. Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663091753924584672.post-58505901463647157392012-09-13T21:32:36.384-07:002012-09-13T21:32:36.384-07:00Mike,

I've taken on his outdoors column for our local paper, today was my 1 year anniversary of writing it. <br /><br />We own land in central KS, near McPherson, and my 10 year old son & I are planning to travel there (from TX, where we reside) to hunt pheasant and quail for the first time. We participated in a mentored duck hunt in January, part of a TPWD program. I'm a novice outdoor woman, but learning as quickly as I can. Know it's up to me to continue the training my late husband began. <br /><br />Would this be something you would be interested in writing about? You would be most welcome to join us, and you would be doing us a great favor, helping us with the finer points of pheasant hunting. We've taken hunter safety, and have a great German shorthair to hunt with.<br /><br />I've attached my column from today's paper, in case you are interested in reading it. <br /><br />http://www.timesrecordnews.com/news/2012/sep/13/the-good-the-bad-the-funny-my-first-year-as-an/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415825406902616177noreply@blogger.com
