Hopefully, there will be some more pond filling rains. Would love to see some good rains at Cheyenne Bottoms.

Had a major storm roll through in the wee hours of this morning knocking out power. Ended up with 1.30" of driving rain, bringing yearly total to 4.25". June is historically the highest rainfall at the Ponderosa although some years there might be none. Rainfall here is kind of like, "Life is...

Had two days of rainy weather and added 1.60" (PTL) at the Ponderosa making the total for the year at 2.95" Wheat harvest is really early this year by 2-3 weeks with some in the area getting cut next week. Haven't seen any hatches yet.

Had 0.10" and gale force winds, adding this to earlier rain brings the Ponderosa to 1.35" this year.

Same forecast here. Hope to not have severe damage in the area. Hope your trees stay away from your kennel

Glad there is some rain blessing folks. Still dry at the Ponderosa. Only the one rain this year.. Praying for more.

Received our first rain of the year last night. Fast 1.25" The Ponderosa received no beneficial snow over the winter, so this rain was very welcoming, and I hope it "primes the pump". Praise the Lord!

I heard that the quail were thick in SEK back in '62 when Joey "Doves" Aiuppa was frequenting the Frontenac area.

Welcome

good deal. I had heard LV County was 8" below normal in the NE corner of the state and SE corner was in drought also.

Very dry. Had a couple inches of snow on the level on February 10th. Had a few mini blizzards with just a little snow and gale force winds over the past few months. A lot of red flag days. Forecast looks to be dry for next ten days, with a 60% chance on saturday, the 27th. Thanks for checking...

There is a map with guzzlers marked on the Kansas side(Cimarron National Grasslands), would think there would be something similar for Comanche.

I have pulled out a lot of people on the minimum maintenance roads near the Ponderosa. Tearing up those roads that the farmers and ranchers have to use is not a way to win friends in the country.

Prayers

That is my concern as well. The early spring rains really produced a jungle in my waste areas. I feel the quail can find some shelter areas, but I worry that there will not be enough high calorie seeds available for them to maintain body temperature during the prolonged extreme low temperatures...

Nice 4" of snow on the ground this morning. Loving it. Monday is looking bad at the moment. Snow chances and possible 60mph winds. Will see what really happens. Another chance of snow next Friday.

If shooting O/U I will have a #5 or #6 in upper and a #7.5 or #8 in lower barrel. If shooting my pump I will load for pheasants. If there is a covey rise, I will not shoot the covey and change shells to my quail loads and let the dog hunt the singles.

That is a beautiful area where you live. I get through there some when visiting family in KC

HAPPY NEW YEAR from the Ponderosa
