Kansas got 450,000 or 97 percent of the acres offered accepted in the last general signup. https://www.fsa.usda.gov/Assets/USDA-FSA-Public/usdafiles/Conservation/PDF/SU54StateAcceptancewithPercentages.pdf

So I went out to put up a trail cam on my farm in Finney County last week. I drove around in the evening and morning in parts of Ness, Lane, Ford and Finney counties. One thing I noticed is a lot of the birds I saw were very young, like barely able to fly. A couple friends told me there are a...

I have been reading some of the post on farming, and some wanting an explanation why we do what we do. I kind of hijacked another thread so thought I would start a new one. Let me start by saying nobody loves to hunt more than me. I spend about 3 weeks a year in western Kansas hunting...

I am finally getting a chance to make my second trip of the year. A friend and I have the truck loaded and are leaving for a week in Dodge to shoot some roosters. It looks like the weather will be a little warmer than I would like, but at least it won't be below 0.

The new farm bill will increase CRP acres from 24 million to 27 million acres. It is a step in the right direction.

I am loading the pickup getting ready to head out for my annual birthday hunt. Three friends and I will be leaving here from Colony when they get here around 5 or so. This is the only time I hunt with 4 people but these guys are good friends and we do it every year. We will be staying in Dodge...

After hunting Gordon's only for 25 years I am going to start running a pointer with them. My family had hunted English Pointers for 2 generations before I started with Gordons. Here is my new dog, Xtreme's Copper Jewell or Jewell. She is 13 months old, I have had her a week, and she has already...

It's nice to see the birds coming back. I moved 7 coveys in three hours. My 3 year old Gordons Miss Kitty and Festus pointed and retrieved all 8. I didn't take any field pics because I was hunting by myself and my dogs give me dirty looks if a bird they have pointed flies away while I'm messing...

Here's a pic of my limit I shot Saturday morning in Ness County.

This is a lone prairie chicken along the edge of a county black top road. He has been in this exact spot for 2 days. I haven't seen a chicken within 2 miles of where he is in 20 years. I think he may have a screw loose. I hope he don't get run over...

Took my pups out today and managed to limit out on the quail. It's been a long time since we've had quail numbers like this in the area.

My dad was out at my farm in Finney County today. He said they saw some baby pheasants in the road that could barely fly. Maybe some of the hens pulled off a late hatch when the weather got better. I have seen them several years opening weekend without any color. I have been mowing road ditches...

The pups are coming along good. Here are some pics I took this morning. Miss Kitty is the one with the really pretty point, and Festus is the one that we are going to have to work on to get his tail up.

I hunted Ness and Finney counties 4 days. I limited each day. I took a few pics with my phone on the last afternoon. The birds were really bunched up. The roads were absolutely horrible. My new pickup didn't look new at the end of the hunt. The limit of roosters in the picture were shot on a...
