    2022 pheasant harvest by state

    Hard time believing that for Kansas. These numbers have always been a joke for me. Maybe Kansas counts planted birds killed as well like SD.

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    The only way it makes any sense that this was published is like A5 and a couple others mentioned, in that a witness of this event had been found and it was going to come out so her camp tried to get in front of it and control the narrative. Once that was mentioned I thought on it, I agree and...

    Quail hunting Southeast Kansas

    The hunting singles is a pet peeve of mine too. I see and hear of it a lot now days. We grew up just moving on as well when you busted a covey but maybe because we knew there were more to come. I see groups out late in the evening chasing them too and that's frustrating. The batwing mowers...

    Quail hunting Southeast Kansas

    I live a mile from some of my wives relatives in SE KS and they have pictures of piles and piles of quail from hunts of years back. I grew up in Leavenworth County and we had good quail when I was a kid but not like they talk about through here. Kids would shoot limits and still catch the school...

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    She needs to take her handlers and her publicists to the gravel pit. But for those who are caught up on how she says did it, let me say this. I've grown up farming and ranching my whole life and have seen or had to put down a lot of different types of animals of all sizes. And the only times...

    Dog Breed Popularity

    The few Goldens I've been around were moderate sized I'd say, not too big to run anyhow. They were family dogs but just brilliant and would pick up a new trick in one evening. Lots of hair though lol

    Dog Breed Popularity

    Weimaraners and Goldens are on my radar for my next dog. But I assume the homework to find good hunting lines and the hit to the pocket book for a good one may be more than I want. As for the continued rise in GSP popularity I hope it doesn't lead to more dilution of the hunting lines. I'm...

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    I didn't read the book, only the link above but I kind of call BS on the whole thing. Probably embellished, stupidly, to try and fit their narrative of showing her toughness. But the first thing that came to my mind is no farm husband, dad or brother has a daughter/wife handle a situation like...

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    Dumb to put it in a book for sure but that situation has played out countless times in rural America and still happening today. Sometimes bad animals need to go away and whether they choose to use Dr. Smith in town or Dr. Winchester behind the barn it is what it is.

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    It'll be ok, Biden came out and said he wasn't even mad at her, he understood. He once too had a wire haired goat that made his pig smell when the chickens attacked it so he had to shoot his duck. You'll have that sometimes.

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    Pheasant hunting is my all around favorite but nothing gets the adrenaline going for me like those last several yards of a vocal Tom battle. 👍

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    I'd like to get a nice Merriam one day, they're pretty cool looking. I wish I'd have done the slam when I was younger, but probably didn't have the funds. Now time is the issue until retirement one day.

    Prepping for a controlled burn.

    I'm a huge fan of fire, I used to burn everything we could for years. I had a cedar go up a few years back and embers jumped our backburn line and caught a neighboring piece on fire. Luckily no structural damage just a hay field and some rough pasture but that was one of the sickest feeling I've...

    Looking to add a gsp in the future

    I tend to agree, I've owned several and have spent quite a bit on a couple and hardly anything on others and they're all different. The best dog I ever had I paid $100 for. I think this breed may be the easiest breed to find diamonds in the rough because they can't help but hunt, you just...

    Giardia in Dogs

    I had never really heard of it until my last puppy purchase. I had bought dogs from friends or private individuals my whole life then decided to buy my last English pointers from a kennel/trainer. One of the 2 had it we came to find out after the diarrhea started and she wouldn't gain weight...

    SD Public Pheasant Hunting Trip

    Stay where you have been, the Webster area is not a hot spot but seems to be with hunters the last couples years. We have family there is the only reason we spend time in that area.

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    Scouting this morning and heard 4 or 5 gobbles in various directions. Sitting in the truck now watching 5 hens and 2 toms in a field that used to have too many to count at this time in the morning. Kinda hard to get pumped up about throwing lead at them at this point.
