    Bird sightings

    I was hoping it wasn't for hunting. It would be a slaughter considering how many birds I see there! Bryce is where the country bar used to be before it burned down?

    In your opinion, how many public land pheasants in the bag would make for a successful season?

Around that time my Dad started buying land in Washington and Fond Du lac county so when I was able...

    GSP questions

    You might find a 40lb GSP but why try? There are 40lb breeds that will do everything a GSP will do and sometimes better. Braque Francais and Brittany come to mind and I am sure there are others as well.

Corn yields are about 150 bushel/ac. But I guess he doesn't need fertilizer because has has all the cow shit he could...

    I've got an 80 ac parcel in E. Central WI. The neighbor just offered $15k/acre unsolicited. It the north side of a steep moraine (2nd highest pint in the county by a couple of feet). Not great farm ground but is a good toboggan hill!
