Went to academy and picked up a new orange hat. They don't carry a lot of upland gear....

Randy T,

Stratford? We'll be there also Saturday and Sunday, hunting with the Stratford Education Foundation's hunt.

I've heard from some folks here in Justin who know some custom cutters that cut in Hansford county that they saw lots of birds this year.

I cannot freaking wait.

WOOHOO! Got my gear packed and heading to Dumas tomorrow after lunch!!

Hey flushem,

What's the best steakhouse in Dumas, that's where we'll be staying. I know as a kid, it was K-Bobs, are they still even open?

There is a new place called 287 Roadhouse that we ate at last year and it was very good. You can get steaks and a cold adult beverage there that are IMO the best in town! Also check out Albert's for breakfast. They usually have a ham and egg special that is great. Just be careful how much you eat at Alberts in the mornings because it makes it tuff trying to walk those 1st couple of fields. Who are you hunting with up there?

Good Luck to everyone this weekend, as we are now 2 days and a wakeup away

Yeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwwww

I seem to be detecting a lot of giddiness and child like behavior emanating from the pheasant hunting community...

Better than Christmas!

Almost here. We are headed to Spearman.

just about 48 more agonizing hours away.

but who's counting....

I skipping out of work at noon tomorrow and off 5.5 hours to Lubbock. I can't believe excited about a 5.5 hour ride.....

thanks flushem. we'll definitely hit the steakhouse, pancake breakfast is provided on our hunt in stratford. we're hunting with the stratford education foundation. stratford has had that hunt put on by the lion's club for a long time, this is the first year i think for the the eduacation foundation. i lived in stratford as a kid, and used to hunt friend's land when i'd go up to visit. i haven't been up there to hunt in many years, absolutely can't wait!

Same here except we skipped the whole day hehe

1st time for pheasant for us ,feel like a kid again

Pretty much the same here, but an hour plane flight to Amarillo instead.

Can't wait, I'm leavin in the morning. Saw lots of birds last weekend!

Everything went to today at work. SO!, now the plan to get out before noon is circling in a downward spiral . it should not be like this, but our motto at this company is "Why plan when you can panic!". I hate Decembers! Now I may not get to Plainview till after midnight.

Can you feel the hate vibes I am sending right now??? I need my rest.

Yes I feel'um. Just did a weather check and it is going to be more like pheasant weather. Wind 10-20 from the North,temp. range 20s-40's. Much better!

Don't wake me up when you get there I need my rest

happy driving to everyone headed up this way. i'll be out in the fields later in the afternoon after some mule deer hunting in the morning.

Well, I'm about to fire myself and head out. Driving to the deer lease for an afternoon hunt, then up at 5:30 Saturday morning and driving the last 1.5 hours up to Floydada. Be there in time for some breakfast tamales and then we'll hit the CRP. Good luck to everyone!

Has anyone seen any birds in the Floydada/Lockney area? Thinking about hittin public land in the morning

Hope ya'll do good! I'm going out next friday!
