You should be in good shape....birds shouldn't be call wary yet etc. a plus.

In my experience, some birds will still be grouped. We've been hunting the opening week of gun season for the past 5 years and still find some birds grouped together. Should be a great time, I love going to Kansas!

A few years back a Misty Morning Outfitters got investigated by the feds. Don't know if anything ever became of it.

several have told me of this now.  best i can tell is it was in 2011.  ive heard 2 sides kind of, but if he can still legally guide, and can put us on birds, then im game.

Literally anybody can guide in Kansas. It is unregulated.

I have hunted in southern KS the last several years during bow season it is usually pretty good.  Last year, 5 of us hunted and ended up with 4 gobblers and one jake.  Two guys tagged out and another killed a stud.  I got to run the camera, but never had an opportunity.  Weather can be crappy, though!

Well how did it go?
