    What the ???

    http://www.kdwpt.state.ks.us/news/Hunting/PRAIRIE-CHICKEN-PERMIT-REQUIRED-THIS-FALL I hope this study is successful in helping the prairie chicken in some way. This may sound crazy, but I had mixed feelings about shooting them based on their population level and the way they taste. Maybe...

    Eddie Bauer upland catalog

    I just got an Eddie Bauer upland hunting catalog in the mail this past weekend. I had no idea they were selling hunting clothes.:confused: Has anybody on here ever used their upland clothes before? Or get their catalog in the mail? I bought a new pair of upland pants from Cabelas last year...

    Tallgrass prairie

    If any of you happen to be passin' through Manhattan, KS, it is worth a stop at the new Flinthills Discovery Center. I took the family there on Wednesday and thought a few of the displays were pretty cool. I got kind of a "cliff's notes" version of the past/present/future of the tallgrass...

    Snake breaking at home

    So how exactly does snake breaking work? I've been posting on the Kansas forum about all the copperheads in our neighborhood this year. Several neighbor's dogs have been bitten, but we have been lucky so far. It would appear that two of our three dogs "snake broke" themselves, but I'm...

    Very fortunate!

    Tonight just at dusk, I was "resting my eyes" in the recliner. My wife woke me up and said, "Your dog is going crazy and there is a big snake in the backyard!" So we got the dogs all wrangled into the house, shut the dog door, and went out back with the flashlight. Sure enough, it was a...

    surrogate mom?

    Please try not to judge me for the randomness/stupidity of this question...:D Can a chicken hatch pheasant or quail eggs? We have a hen that is broody and she isn't taking NO for an answer, even though we have no rooster... As soon as one of the gals lays an egg, she sits on it and squawks...

    poison ivy

    Hi All, What are you using to kill poison ivy? Just regular old roundup? I mow and till for my tree plantings, but I got the stuff coming back strong in last year's trees. It's been so dry that I went out and watered all the trees last weekend. Sure enough, I got poison ivy!:eek...

    Haven't gotten the bird yet, but...

    Struck out on our gobbler hunt Friday afternoon, but still managed to have a good time. Didn't see or hear a bird anywhere, which was disappointing, but hunting with my daughter is so much fun it hardly mattered. Got her pretty well stuffed full of oatmeal cream pies, sunflower seeds, and...

    Business in the front,,,

    PARTY IN THE BACK!!! Gave my wife's fat little dog her annual haircut. I couldn't resist taking a couple pics after giving her a mullet. I texted the pic to a few friends who suggested I should leave her this way, but she's a sweet little dog and I couldn't do that to her...:laugh: I...

    Cz 912 ???

    Went shotgun shopping with my buddy for a few hours on Saturday. We saw quite a few guns. Some were nice, some were.... rough...:eek: We saw quite a few gently used pumps that I thought were fair deals, but didn't see anything that totally tripped his trigger. (There was a used Wingmaster...

    Best Pump for the $$$

    Hello All, One of my best friends has finally succumbed to peer pressure! He's taking a portion of this year's tax refund to the gun shop!:D He had previously been borrowing my old BPS to shoot trap, but unfortunately he didn't have the funds to buy it when I needed to sell it. Now he's...

    Dog games

    At some point there was a discussion about field trials, but I can't seem to find the thread...:confused: Anyway, I was thinking somebody posted about a field trail in Eskridge that was coming up in March. If you know when it is or any info, could you please post it? I have never been to one...

    Deer Hunter Survey

    Just wondering if anybody else did the online deer hunter survey and what you thought about some of the proposed changes. For those who didn't get one, KDWP was looking for feedback on several ideas. Here are some of the highlights... 1. Should they start selling buck and doe tags together...

    Superstitious?

    After reading the thread about old school and new school gear, i was just wondering who has "lucky" gear or other superstitions? For instance, I have a lucky stocking hat. I hate hunting without it.:thumbsup: I only wear it while hunting so I don't waste its good luck.

    HELP, need birds!

    Hi fellow Kansans, I just heard that my regular source for pheasants in Clay Center is sold out, and I'm not sure whether or not he's getting any more this season. I had an arrangement worked out with him where he would sell me a certain number of pheasants in a box and then I would go plant...

    Science of dogs

    I've been meaning to post this but keep forgetting... Discovery channel had a show called "science of dogs" on the other night. Pretty interesting stuff... It was all about how people have modified the dog breeds for different purposes, why it works on dogs but not other animals, etc,. If...

    video editing of hunts

    For those of you videotaping your hunts on one of those nifty little digital POV cameras, what kind of editing software are you using? I don't need to do anything elaborate or fancy, I would pretty much just like to cut and paste video together, and maybe add a soundtrack. My computer is not...

    How much bigger?

    My six month old brittany, Junie, weighed 26 pounds at the vet last week. Just wondering, I can't remember, how much do they usually grow after the six month mark? I was thinking she should be nearly grown by now, but maybe My memory of past dogs is getting a little fuzzy. So fuzzy I forgot to...
