    Early heat not good.

    interesting, how long have your buddies been checking your fields? assuming your not totally flat ground, is there any pattern to the nests? as in topography, hill tops, sides or facing. are they near trees, or just random? thanks i'm trying to increase my nesting brooding acres.

    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    66, red wing wingshooter 808 was my favorite. last pair lasted 2 years of everyday farm mud, blood, poop with no maintenance. since they discontinued those i have to be stylish and wear the 863 wingshooter. they are heavy but waterproof all the way to the top 9inch. they last as long as...

    Shooting Woes - Help Needed

    if you really want to know why you are missing, post this on shotgunworld forum. otherwise practice, and let your emotional support dogs ride up front on the way home, i guarantee all they want is some good cheek and ear scratching, and the promise of getting to go again.

    Bird dog foreleg protection

    K-9 Topcoat has/had a vest with a couple inches of front sleeve. and chest plate. they've changed the material at least 3 times. my last setter could shred one per season, but i figured that was saving some stitches at the vet. i see that a company named Tyro has a very similar vest with a...

    Pheasant Fest 2025 KC

    i've been waiting for it to come back to KC. was really hoping there would be a bunch of upland gear to check out and try on, mainly vests and strap vests. not good at paying $400 online just to see if something works for me, then send it back. scheels, bass pro, and orvis stores have a poor...

    Worth the trip?

    2 day walk in trip

    allan savory has been leading the fight to convert desert back into grassland thru intensive grazing. its very interesting, and i think he has proved the theory in africa and new mexico. several years ago he quoted from an old book by an english lord that said something like this. you cannot...

    2 day walk in trip

    i brought up a federal upland stamp with QF and Conservation Federation of Missouri 8-10 years ago. was pretty thoroughly poo-poo'd. couldn't figure out whether it was just another one of my bad ideas, or just wasn't their idea, or it was just too difficult to pull off, but they weren't...

    2 day walk in trip

    as i said, landowners do what they think is best for their land and family. road right of ways and corners should be targeted as habitat projects like pollinators or warm season buffers. we ran into places where a hot wire was strung on the road side of the ditch to get every last bit of...

    2 day walk in trip

    i did more planning for this trip than ever. walk in only, because deer season was starting, and knocking would be a waste of time. consulted the drought map, severe storms and hail maps, kdwp forecast and counts, onx hunt map with trees crops and cover filter. i targeted cover (crp, draws...

    i wear a standard carhart pocket tee shirt under thin dull flannel shirt and a medium weight upland vest. if its below 40 degrees i add a medium weight zippered hoody. below 20 degrees, i might go with the thinnest long underwear top, but its got to be really cold to wear the bottoms. went...

    Good Source for Shrub and Tree Seed

    I found Lovelace Seeds while doing my fescue to warm season/pollinators conversion. i had some bare fencerows and areas of chop and drop, that needed shrubs or transitional trees. they had everything i needed: smooth sumac, plum, false indigo, and dogwood. now whenever i do any clearing or...

    Multiple nests per season

    its also been said for years, that quail are capable of multiple hatches when they lose a nest, and that they will nest multiple times a year when populations are low. capable maybe, generally not true. when we see small birds early season, we tend to think multiple hatch. the quail study in...

    Coconut Oil - removes cockleburs!

    scott linden posted on his site about using "Show Sheen" available at any tractor supply. spay on a couple times early season works for quite awhile. makes my setters coat silky. most burrs don't stick, tougher belly and armpit burrs come out by hand or picking with comb. easily reduces 70%...

    garmin pro 550 plus tt 15 mini start up

    don't know whether motion makes it more accurate. i have updated both collar and handheld again this season, both were up to date. garmin: if you see this, please let me help redesign your 550 plus, the handheld unit was obviously designed by someone who doesn't hunt, doesn't hunt with...
