Kansas Pheasant and Quail January 2023 Part 1

Kansas Pheasant and Quail Hunting with Pointing Dogs

[@richc4231]

Great dog work...little or no shouting commands all day!! Tight sitting birds, right approach around the dog to keep them on point...nice video!!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! It was another good trip.

[@davidpeightal4918]

The freeze frames of the rooster against the blue sky and afternoon moon were second to none. Calendar shots. Amazing. Thank you. If we could count up the hours in dog training, and everything else, man, there is a ton of work that went in to that video. It is appreciated.

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! Only another hunter who hunts with dogs would understand that! I wouldn’t want it any other way! Thanks for watching.

[@bradgeffers1080]

Great dog work once again.l love the still shots of flushing roosters too. Keep including them please. Man I could watch those dogs all day and it must be so fun to hunt over them. Whoever trained them deserves a lot of praise.

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! I like those shots too. The young dogs are really coming on. They are a lot of fun to hunt with.

[@jeffh6276]

Excellent dog work and great filming.

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks!

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks for sharing. I sure miss my GSPs and quail hunting. I also miss my trips to South Dakota for Pheasant. Maybe one day I'll get back into it. Again, thanks for sharing as it let me relive some of my favorite times hunting with my dogs.

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Glad you enjoyed it! Like I’ve said before, that’s exactly why I make them so I can relive the moments when I’m not able to do it anymore. Thanks for watching!

[@gregwilson9860]

That was a great video, love watching your dogs work,they are well trained!!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@bradbazzett9971]

Great working dogs wish we had birds here in Michigan I would have a bird dog too!! Thanks for another video!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks for watching!

[@tombishop8083]

Have never hunted quail in the snow or seen them hold so tight. Now I am going to have to move to Kansas! Great videos.

[@TRPLCCOOP]

It’s a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!

Great dogs. Gotta love those popcorn quail flushes

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@mikebell108]

your dogs are amazing to watch and love the close ups of the flush, thanks for the video

Great dog work! Thanks for the videos. I used to live in Wichita and miss hunting in KS.

Thank you! Thanks for watching

Excellent!👏👏👏

Thanks!

[@djn8691]

What kind of pointers are those? Love their colors and phenomenal training!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

GSP

[@barrnyroyal1440]

indiana man, Ive spent the last 30 years hunting up around smith center. enjoyed watching your dogs work

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@Mexicanfoodenthusiast]

Some nice coveys

[@deananderson8225]

Love Kansas could be 12 pack quail a rooster or hen! Great video thanks!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

And very rarely a chicken! Thanks for watching!

[@thelifeofreed5367]

Super cool video! Dogs were great and well trained! Been thinking about trying to hunt pheasants. You using a 20gauge? What part of Kansas you in, north,south, east, west? Any tips would be helpful! Thanks! And great video!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! Highly recommend upland hunting with dogs. It’s can be addictive though!I use a Franchi Affinity 20ga which I have had no trouble with. I use a hero 9 black GoPro for my videos with the head strap mount. Thanks for watching.

[@alexkorzenewski4250]

Can’t believe you only have 937 viewers. These are fantastic videos and the dogs are awesome. Good shooting too. Unfortunately I shoot a lot more clays than birds, but these videos and pictures are some “comfort” for my hunting urges. A shotkam video split screened with the flush would be cool too, but a lot more complexity in production (and extra gun weight). Anyway, great content and love your dogs.

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! I’ve got another go pro I might try to get a second angle next year. Thanks for watching!

[@killirl32]

Great hunting in that part of the world. Dog is top class also. A joy to watch

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thank you!

[@scottbrooks5662]

Awesome dog work

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks!

[@joncasey8077]

Nice group of hens😂! You have the best videos out there!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

It was definitely a surprise flush. Thanks!

[@joedenning3]

Your dogs are so well trained. Did you start them yourself? Please tell me what the beeping noise is as you get close to the dogs. Is that a command for them to hold? Great video editing! I love the still shots of the pheasants in flight edited out of the video!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching. I use the Garmin alpha 100 system. The beeping is usually notification of a dog on point. I usually run 2/3 dogs at a time and when the other dogs back/honor it is due to them stopping. I also use it to let the dogs know to change direction or to deter the greedy dogs from stealing the retrieves from the other dogs.

[@TRPLCCOOP]

This is where my dogs come from and I take them back to him at 6mo to start them. starttofinishbirddogtraining.com/kennel-news/

[@kurtwinslow2670]

What a cool pic of the shell, dog and pheasant folding, it's a one in a million. Is any of your hunting on public lands, I'm curious:?

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! I thought it was pretty cool also! All my Kansas hunting is WIHA.. I don’t have any connections for private land.

[@kurtwinslow2670]

@@TRPLCCOOP Thanks for the reply. When I retire in about 7 years. This looks to be on my to do list, for a late-season hunt. Where I live it's all stocked and ends right about now.

[@tony61able]

Beautiful place ! Really fascinating ! Great expanses and grasslands. Reminds me of some western movies. But is there still a type of animal from those parts called : prairie dog ? It was like a kind of mormon that had the characteristics of making holes like wild rabbits . Then I still don't understand what kind of dogs you are using for hunting partridges , and pheasants . They would look like braques .

[@TRPLCCOOP]

It is a beautiful place! There are prairie dogs around still and they still make holes all over the pastures. The dogs are GSP’s. www.akc.org/dog-breeds/german-shorthaired-pointer/

[@tony61able]

@@TRPLCCOOP As I understand it, you're hunting with kurzhaars. Here in my part, in southern Tuscany (central Italy) some people use them both for pheasants, quails and woodcocks. For example, I have a Pyrenean French braque. But most of the hunters who do this type of hunting here, use English setters and pointers.As I understand it, you're hunting with kurzhaars.

And I really like the places where you're hunting. Well, America is always America!

[@claysnwingsshotgunning]

Awesome still photos of the Pheasant flushing sequence, great work. Are you shooting a Browning Superposed 20 gauge as well as the semi-auto?

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! A friend let me borrow his 1967 Browning Belgium Lightning 12 ga to try out. I had a hard time hitting anything with it and went back to my Franchi affinity 20 ga. It was a really nice gun though!

[@charlesgreatwood9987]

We’ll done! You cut out the boring parts! All good stuff!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

That’s right! Make it too long and no one would watch .😊

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks!

[@DedeGriffin-lf4pj]

Well done! Did you shoot vid in 1080? Also curious what app you edited in. Thanks for doing these videos. Fun.

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them. I use a go pro 9 black in 4k. I just use the iMovie app on my iPhone. Thanks for watching!

[@danpatrick9080]

Wow...what a stag

[@willhorting5317]

Stag? You must be from overseas. Here, our male deer are called "bucks".

[@diegopaschina4931]

Goood place

[@kenw305]

Thanks for the outing, very well trained dogs. What model camera? Nice pics

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! I use a GoPro 9Black. Thanks for watching.

[@willhorting5317]

Thanks for sharing. Nice shooting. Seeing the buck, I am curious... although you have the dogs with you, how often do you see a coyote leaving the area that you and the dogs are walking?

[@TRPLCCOOP]

Thanks! Unfortunately, we do see quite a few coyotes. One of my dogs pointed one in some tall CRP last year. It’s in one of my videos from last year. I think there is a great debate on whether the coyotes or the hawks are harder on the bird populations.

[@willhorting5317]

@@TRPLCCOOP thanks for the reply. With the dogs, I was unsure. For many years, I used to call coyotes on the WIHA tracts throughout north-central Kansas. From Phillipsburg to Seneca. And I-70 to the Nebraska border. Unfortunately, my failing health in recent years, has forced me to give that up. Glad you are finding the birds!! PS: I will watch your previous videos to see that!!

[@timguenther1286]

What county was you hunting in ? I used to live in Stevens county and I was up there in November and bird population was way down

[@richardwoodard7680]

what area of kansas?

[@Gunner662]

I appreciate you training your dogs to hold until the shot and not breaking on the flush.

[@TRPLCCOOP]

I’ve tried to keep them steady to shot on my two youngest dogs. It does make it nice when you’re hunting with other people. Thanks, and thanks for watching!

[@TheGoodBoyz]

Do you generally hunt public land in Kansas? Debating coming there next week to get some pheasant/quail hunting in as SD looks pretty snowy.. any direction on where to aim for in Kansas would be super helpful. I promise I won’t shoot them all!

[@TRPLCCOOP]

I hunt all public land in Kansas. It was getting hit pretty hard this week. Still some birds around but be prepared to do 10+ miles a day and have plenty of dog power…

[@willhorting5317]

@The Good Boyz a suggestion that I would have (if you can)... Come and hunt the WIHA tracts during the week, instead of the weekend. Those places get absolutely hammered on weekends. I can't give you any tips on where to go though. I haven't hunted upland birds in about 25 years.
