RE: Kansas Pheasant. Please help!
If birds are flushing wild or just spooky you can sometimes have luck by doing this: Look at a piece of land and see how you and others would hunt it then hunt it in the reverse of how you would. Sounds stupid but most piece of land are pushed through the same way time after time and birds learn escape routes, by changing it up you can often catch them confused. You will still have wild flushing birds but you may also have some the sit tight.
Also do not slam doors, talk or yell at the dogs just silently as possible approach the field you are going to hunt. Make some friends that can act as blockers as well. Not 100% guaranteed but pheasant can be frustrating. Also if it snows a couple of inches make sure to hit that next day as roosters hold tighter innew snow often times.
