IMO, the Kansas birds are way way way easier than Illinois birds. I hunted/filmed 3 hunts and 4 birds were killed. Hunting in the afternoon is crazy when you know their roost tree.Set a blind under it and wait. Saturday afternoon we were in the blind for half hour and 2 hens and tom came in. My buddy shot the tom. He went and picked it up and put it in the blind with us. A half hour later, a dozen more birds came in and more after that. Ended up with nearly 20 birds roosted within 50 yards of us.
I think someone must be doing a whole lotta farm/ranch hutning... cause I've not seen a difference between the ease of take here... or in my home state of NY... If your coming here to a ranch then yes... I'd be led to believe its easier due to the fact that those fully inept at hunting are pratically guarenteed a bird.
