Well if you ever have room in your group for an extra set of legs keep me in mind. I had areas in kS that would previously likely rival or better parts of SD - but those were a few years ago so I've pretty much stopped targeting them -- but my dogs could sure use the contacts and learning...

Are you going to hunt during the week at all? I've got 2 setters -- 3yo and 4 -- they just need more bird contacts but have been on enough - I've only had the 3yo one year and the 4 yo now 2 years so they're just coming around to really getting to know me. I live in KS and am self employed...

Bought some farmland that we will build our house on that is continguous to the 6 acres we presently live on near Topeka - Our land goes all the way and butts up to Forbes Air Base/Air port -- It's been discontinued as a commercial airport for a # of years - but private aviation, the national...

Those same arguments are the same ones I heard from the "old heads" around me that are stuck in their ways. I'm no means young - but middle aged - probably about 5 yrs or so older than the neighbor that will farm next year - he's making money with cover crops, starting to plant milo and wheat...

They'll eat it both quail, pheasants, chickens - but beans are complete shit for wildlife. The OP I believe was mentioning he wanted to increase his quail #'s - having beans around is completely counterintuitive to that. There's plenty of information online and here on this forum as to why...

A guy near me does that - still has to spray but I dont think as much. Get rid of your BEANS -- they are garbage for any wildlife -- I just bought some land and an existing farming agreement was in place with someone that just plants corn/beans - next year they will not farm it and the other...

I went through KC yesterday to an appointment near Columbia MO -- anyways on the way back home stopped at the KC Cabelas and another spot in the mall -- The Adidas store didnt have much to choose from and I was surprised how little stock they had - Cabelas as well - not that full of merchandise...

My buddy has been using that around Kinsley and other areas he manages in the vicinity and works good for him - the diesel "sticks" to the bark and penetrates it along with the herbicide -- he's killed quite large trees with this method - after they're good and dead you can knock em over and...

I meant the big ones -- correct me if I'm wrong but thinking they are native -- and I hear ya about a disturbance -- I've learned that the hard way on the 6 acres/forest we moved to as I've been clearing it out - I think a fire got hot enough this spring it killed several sprouting up in the...

No not really - trees do not belong on the prairie - native plants and grasses/forbs with some sporadic woody cover will do wonders for mr Quail, turkeys and deer not to mention multitudes of other wildlife. I expect a lot of wood burning save for the trees I want to keep as a privacy barrier...

Deer and quail dont live in trees. People from the eastern part of the US and eastern half of KS dont understand that. /Sarcasm -- :) I like native plants - not honeysuckle, crap elms and dead - pretty much all worthless. There'd be more wildlife on the place if all the trees were gone...

Ha - they're far and few between but I'm hoping to change that Deer on the other hand - shoot them all - dont mind seeing them but they're over populated around here - Hope to have some doe killing shoots with friends or local kids if Im motivated to get some blinds set up so we're not...

Been wanting to have a chunk of land for many years -- finally had the opportunity present itself and we've been waiting since last fall for it to happen. Closed on it yesterday - land butts up to our house so w our existing 6 acres it's nearly 80 -- has a public trail running through it so...

Hi Maynard - hopefully you dont wait 2 yrs again before coming back...:D In NE KS we are super wet as usual -- i'm tired of the rain - but the pleasant spring for the most part has been extremely nice - I dont recall in years a spring being this decent and drawn out - I may have jinxed us and...

My perspective and you have your own is that you may take some of the comments too personal - none are directed at guys that work with wildlife and I dont think it can be disputed that changes in farming practices IMO which have been largely driven by "Big Ag" as I call it are detrimental to...

I have the same case -- either my dad or grandpa likely bought it new -- red leather though. I need to get the zipper replaced -- it's broken - other than that in great shape. Been meaning to take it in for years to get it fixed but have never done so...ha.

I am not a tax code nerd -- but....I'm thinking that you are supposed to self report mileage driven and pay tax on miles driven possibly? I'm probably wrong - but was thinking there was something in the tax code that addressed that in regards to making your own bio fuels etc -- Something I...

I've been in a model S and yes the performance is extremely impressive. Definitely post some pix of the purchase - but as a car guy I can't get into the looks -- Kind of as off putting as a Pontiac Aztek, but what I find attractive and someone else is not going to be the same. I dont think...

I'd wager the seed/chemical companies and their lobbies will go to work with disinformation. Would love if they could make money working with nature instead of against it.

Troy - I love Finance and Arbitrage -- is there a way I could volunteer to help guys like you with getting the funding for projects like you mentioned or creative ways on how to pay for them? I dont know if that makes sense - But from what you described it seems the upper levels of mgmt may...
