I too am very familiar with this group/business. Great web site, and a good group of folks. Unfortunately, their business strategy/plan doesn't work. While they appear to have a significant amount of properties, the habitat is marginal in many cases. Further, there is a limit to how many...

Although I got away from serious bird hunting after 30 years of spending 40+ days afield, I still visit this form on occasion and watch conditions closely. I still get out a few times a year and take a trip or two to S. Dakota to chase ringnecks. Looking at conditions west of roughly highway...

For pheasants, food is not much of an issue. As long as we don't get an ice storm...they'll do fine. On the other hand, we're already losing quail. Even with adequate food supplies, when temps get too low quail simply can't physically take in enough calories to replace the heat lost. Given...

Hoping the picture shows up. After much thought, I'm selling my 6 hole dog trailer. Info below: $3150 6 Hole Dog Trailer For Sale Aluminum Diamond Plate 15" Wheels 10 Gallons of water storage Each Kennel 31"L x 23"W x 22"H All lights in good working order (brake, signal, running) Top Storage...

Went for a drive this morning as we're within a couple of weeks of peak pheasant hatch. The good news is that I saw three broods. The bad news is the number of chicks per brood was small. Group 1 - Two adult roosters and 6 hens picking grit. Saw 2 chicks with group. Watched for 7 minutes...

Looks like we've gone from one extreme to the other this year. One thing is for sure, this week was a tough one for nesting birds. Some "prime" counties were hit hard with rain this week. The peak of the hatch is still a few days away, although hatching has begun and some birds are on the...

First quail whistle heard about 10 minutes ago. I was beginning to worry. Normally I hear them by about April 15. Point!

Troy, I drove though your part of the country yesterday. Thought about you when I passed the big brown sign! Although I wasn't hunting, I pulled off the road in a couple of spots between Dodge City and Kingman to check the ice. Looks like you guys had a good 3/8" to 1/2" inch in spots...

Just a bit of venting and wanted to get the word out. I just got off the phone with Collar Clinic who informed me that my G2 series transmitter is unrepairable. In short, I've owned Tri-Tronics equipment for years as I really like the way they function and the availability of service. Over...

I've found this to be relatively accurate for my area over the years. Thought I'd post and see if it appears to be accurate to anybody else. This is the estimated precipitation for Kansas from May 17 to May 24. Thoughts? Kansas Estimated Rainfall 5/17/15 - 5/24/15 Point!

This may be something everybody here knows, but I am utterly amazed by what I've seen in the last couple of days. I'm in Scottsdale, AZ playing a little golf. The first day I got here I played the ASU course. The course is in the middle of Phoenix just a couple of miles east of the airport...

Although I almost never post, for years I have read this forum everyday....sometimes twice. Because of this, I feel like I almost "know" the regular posters and their dogs. With this in mind, I thought I'd share something I have done recently that I hope will never become necessary. I have...

I didn't want to hijack the thread below so I thought I'd start a new one. It's amazing how minds can begin to change. In the early days of the WIHA program it was as if the land had come from heaven. Good habitat, plenty of game, and folks treated it as if it was a true privilege to get to...

Formally known as the "Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program", Kansas has or will receive $1.5 million in funding. A few of questions for those of you "in the know". 1) Has Kansas actually received this money? 2) Will it be spent in addition to what Kansas is already spending...

As I write this I'm getting ready to venture out to one of my favorite dove hunting spots. Like most of you, I know that spots between bodies of water and feed with roosting spots nearby are prime this time of year. Then, it dawned on me....bodies of water? Hmmmm....for most of us that will...
