Tips for Hunting Pheasants and Quail
When hunters in blaze orange vests, canvas-faced jeans and leather boots step out of their trucks, they are anxious to set foot in the field. No one wants to chew the fat or over pheasant hunting strategies while holding loaded shotguns. So, if the layout of the field is known, talk about it at the breakfast table while drinking hot coffee. Check the maps if available through the KDWPT. Discuss who is going to walk where. Take into consideration which and whose dog(s) will be in that field. Be sure to factor in wind direction and blockers. All these factors can be address to ensure a great experience can had by all.

Hunters need to know the movement and intents of others in the field.
