This last season my dad and me decided to go to Lucas, KS and hunt public and WIHA land. We only saw one bird, a cock pheasant and I missed the shot. The group that hunts with the farmer got something like 3 or 4 pheasant, 8 quail, and 2 ducks. So my advice, PUBLIC LAND SUCKS!!! Go get a guide.
very good advice well thought out and helpful
