I'd be interested if it's not too hot - Ive only chased them in December and January -- live in Topeka area.

Do you live in or around Topeka?

Not to give you much mileage -- But forums in general are dying -- I hate it - but times are changing -- I guess at my age of 43 I was younger when these started and have been engaging/learning this way/form of communication for a long time - but younger folks and many older ones are abandoning...

Well one can always wish! Ha The deer herd has been talked about as the crux of our problems -- it was managed with sound management principles (or pretty darn sound) at one point in time -- one can always wish it would get back to that. Someone posted about the finite resource --- Sure do...

Troy you've never commented and I would never expect you to - but man I'd sure love it if you could be running KDWP or some part of it. Probably a thankless job but as has been hashed out here nothing can be accomplished when politics, money and wildlife all get mixed in -- I personally...

What are you tackling Troy?

I'd bet my paycheck he has better soil health, biologic diversity and the list goes on at his place -- hence the reason for more upland numbers -- upland birds are the canaries in the coal mine -- if they're doing well - many other species are going to do well too. Yes -- this is and will be...

No one said they dont care about non residents -- My point was that it could turn around and we could have a great supply of a limited resource (that is upland hunting) -- it would attract non residents and re-activate non residents alike. As you alluded SD has the model for this - KS could...

I dont have the time at the moment to find some of the economic studies -- If I recall correctly there are some out there -- but when I mean look at upland hunting globally -take a 100k ft view instead of close up. You're drilling in on non resident sales. I dont care about that and anyone...

That's too bad -- it will only get worse as the 70/80 yr olds age out and the millennials take over or dont want to work and sell it to some Bill Gates type.

The ignoramus and small minded view which is that of the ones in control is deer Upland birds have a far greater economic impact if you look globally at the economic impact and # of people that can partake in such a resource if it's healthy -- Ask South Dakota -- and simply look at...

Do you think he'd be willing to leave it in CRP if he was paid by someone or a group of hunters leasing it? (I'd be interested depending on location) Anyways I went to ND with my brother end of Oct -- mother nature didnt treat us well but we had fun -- we ran into one farmer and spoke with...

I'd seriously like that -- Him and my dad are the reasons I like the outdoors (hunting/fishing) -- I inherited some of his guns when he passed. They (my grandparents) were essentially forced to move away I think around WWii or so to find a job after he lost the farm and ended up in the Wichita...

Weather made us move out of the area of ND we were in and we tried SD -- I wasnt that impressed - but in ND did have a couple people come up on us pretty quickly for parking in front of their land and getting out of our truck (I had seen pheasants and parked a long ways (1/4 to half mile) away...

I've never hunted Nebraska but the area you posted about caught my attention -- Both of my grandparents (both passed away in 2000 and 2003) - grew up in the Holdredge area and both of their families had farms there - My grandpa wanted to take over his but when his dad passed an aunt forced the...
