I grew up hunting bobwhites in NW Missouri back in the 70's. Didn't see any pheasants until I hunted on my brother in laws farm in north central Kansas from 1986 to 2001. There are few quail and no pheasants where I live now in SE Kansas so I hunt chukars on preserve hunts to train my brittany. I do like eating them better than quail for sure. Did a Good Friday hunt last week to finish the preserve season and made some chukar an' dumplins for my Easter dinner.
