Awaiting survey — Kansas 2026

Gated by the same KDWP Upland Bird Forecast as northern bobwhite quail (spring crowing survey + brood survey feed the single fall narrative). Re-confirmed 2026-08-19: live page still reads "2026 Upland Bird Forecast coming this fall!"; no standalone Pheasant Crowing Survey report found yet.
