Do you think that the rains with cool temps had any negative effects on early broods and nests? There were a couple of mornings here in the upper 40's with rain.

I wouldn't buy a case of anything until I patterned my gun. My philosophy is different. I always try and buy the most expensive, whether it is a shell or athletic shoes. You need to find the best shell and choke combo. You might find that 3 inch shells pattern better for you. But generally...

2.65 total for the week here. No, run off into Cedar Bluff at all.

Looks like a big rain event for Wednesday then some warm weather.

1.15 early Sunday morning and another .25 this morning. Hope the cool weather and rain don't doom the early hatch.

They let water out of cedar bluff on Monday to supply Hays with water. Was supposed to lower the water level about a foot. It can't rain enough out here to fill the reservoir and replenish the Aquifer.

1.05 today. Hope it keeps coming.

Dogs insulate themselves in tight quarters. The house should be big enough to get into and turn around. If it is too big, they aren't as warm. It can be zero out, and my dogs come out of the dog den II with steam pouring off them.

My dogs are outside kennel dogs. I have the Dog Den II houses. They stay outside when it is 10 below. I worry more about the summer heat than the cold of winter.

Got another .65 on Saturday. Hopefully the drought monitor goes all White.

3.5 inches in Hays in 48 hrs. Only 1.70 at our place

I shoot them well, but Benelli has been a more reliable gun. I have purchased 8 new Brownings in the last 40 years. Had a new B 80 plus that I bought in the late 80's that I had to send back to Browning twice. They never could get it fixed, but did refund my money. So I bought a new A5 20...

They can't get the parts to make them. I am down for one at one of the biggest and oldest Browning dealer and have been since last spring. Originally they were told they would have them last October, now they don't have a date to expect them. Browning told them that they could not get the...

Inukshuk is hard to beat. My male labrador gets 2.5 cups a day and my female gets 2 cups. Great coats, hard stools, high energy, dogs love it.

I don't support feeding wildlife. What wildlife needs from us is to restore the habitat we have destroyed. Winter isn't cold enough in Kansas to warrant any intervention. Our winters are relatively mild. It was cold Tuesday-Thursday but it is short lived and 54 degree's out west here today...
