Anglers in the Sunflower State enjoy fishing for many species of fish. Walleye, crappie and channel catfish get plenty of attention. However, year-in and year-out the species of choice for many anglers is still the largemouth bass. It's preferred by most anglers," said Doug Nygren, chief of fisheries for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) of the latest angler survey.
As predicted by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism's Upland Bird Forecast, 2011 did not yield a banner opening weekend for pheasant and quail hunting. Although a mild winter of 2010-2011 left solid numbers of breeding birds in the spring, severe heat and drought severely reduced nesting habitat and brood success for pheasants and quail this year. Hunter numbers were down somewhat, although a few areas of the state produced good hunting. The best pheasant hunting was west of Highway 183 and north of I-70.

Crappie anglers are an interesting bunch. Some are hardcore fishing year-round in weather conditions that run the gamut. Most are casual and fish during the spring and summer under more favorable conditions. Despite these differences they do have one thing in common and that's an opinion on the fish they pursue. Whether it's cabin fever for some or just wanting to stir debate there always seems to be plenty of discussion on ways to make their crappie fishing better. Crappie rank near the top in angler preference," said Doug Nygren, chief of fisheries for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. "In any given year, they might swap with channel catfish or largemouth bass for the top spot.
The Pass It On -- Outdoor Mentors, Inc. organization and Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism will sponsor the annual pheasant hunting event for youth and women Dec. 10-11 at Waconda Lake.
As if hitting a high, fast-flying dove wasn't hard enough ol' Mother Nature sure can make it harder. Doves with no wind to push them fly fast. Doves with a 35 mph tailwind seem to hit the speed of light. Hitting those birds often requires boxes and boxes of shells. Shotshell manufacturers love it. Dove hunters of all ages don't and it's even more difficult for youngsters. Such was the case last Wednesday when I took my twin 11-year-old boys, Brandon and Cody, to a Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks sunflower field.

It's a good time when hunters have a place to themselves and get to enjoy the peace and tranquility of Mother Nature. But all too often weekends, holidays and season openers are crowded, especially on public land. While any outdoors experience can still be rewarding during this time it's made more difficult due to the sheer numbers of participants. Add the fact that access to prime private land, particularly for deer or turkeys, is becoming increasingly difficult to find and hunt plans get discouraging quickly. So it just might be time to check out a "special" hunting opportunity provided courtesy of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and some of their partners.
When that old saying of "Go west young man" came into existence, they weren't necessarily thinking of the best upland bird hunting in Kansas. However, in light of last year's wintry conditions in northeast Kansas that advice might be just the ticket to produce some nice bags of pheasants and quail. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks just released the upland bird forecast and things look good as you're not staying too close to home. Kansas has always been a destination for upland bird hunters, particularly from the south, east and west. Thousands of nonresidents and residents will kick off the pheasant and quail season on the second Saturday of Nov. (13) across the entire state. Many will access more than 1.5 million acres of land open to public hunting while others will hunt pr...
