Hey camelcluch,there are a ton of birds up in the northwest between the towns of Norton and Phillipsburg. There is a fair amount of public access,but getting on private land has never been a problem. Highway 24 between Edmond and Glade courses along the north fork of the Solomon river. You'll see alot of birds,and I've only been turned down on a couple of occasions when asking permission to hunt. I suspect one reason landowners are so willing is that so few hunters ask. Deer hunting is a totally different issue. Hope this helps you.........
