I have hunted alabama, Tennessee, Kansas,Texas, Montana ,Wyoming,Missouri,Iowa and kentucky. Northern Missouri/ Iowa birds kicked my dick in the dirt. Kansas follows in second. For me the issue with those birds is they are field dwelling demons. They pitch 150 yds out into the middle of a field and that's where they stay all day. The sun doesn't seem to heat those birds up enough to push them back to shade of the timber. They might pitch out in the open here but give it till about 10:30 an they are looking for timber to get out of the suns heat on those black feather. That when they get the only judo chop.
