No I understand how they raise funds, I'm more curious of the allocation and usage of them, particularly when it comes to private ground.

How does that work for private land? Are you just seeking advice? Are they charging you for trips to your place? And what assistance are they offering?

Here's what I've noticed. The one on the right is a KS bird and is representative of most I've ever taken here, some even have more fat but the same color. The bird on the left is from SD, shot in grass right next to corn and his crop was full of corn.

I've noticed it early and late season now. I'll take some pics when I get home as I have some still soaking. In this instance these were three of the bigger birds I've killed in SD. All were in areas where corn would be a high majority of their diet and they have little to no fat and its white.

Mainly the fat. I've shot pen raised birds in KS and they have that same fat. I don't think to check the beaks although I've told myself multiple times to look. We've also shot some small birds in the last few years but I attributed it to late hatches up north.

So I've finally seen enough that I'm going to ask. I'm going on a few years of having to travel to SD for my bird hunting fixes because I'm fed up with KS wildlife department. The first year I noticed that when I clean birds the fat looks different from SD to KS. KS birds have thick yellow...

Seems like for me most of my pointed birds in the grass usually wind up straight aways. Hunting cane or cattails is a wild card, if I have a partner seems like they wind up being crossing shots or straight ups . Hunting cane solo is tough, they seem to always find that backside to get out of...

Something is going to get us all unfortunately. I'm not going to let those bastards win easy. Good liquor, beer, cigars, and steaks are going to give them a hell of a run for this guy.

I l I left kansas and several inches of ice and snow on Saturday and hit the area of SD I was going this trip and hunted in 40 degree weather with no snow lol. Then left early on Sunday in fear of the shot blowing back in my face if I shot in the wind. Kinda kidding but the wind was the real...

I found a Browning over/under in the ditch while quail hunting a couple years ago. I called the sheriff when I got home and gave vague details and my number if anyone called looking. It took about a week but an older gentleman called and that gun had been a wedding anniversary present to him...

Like they say 40 years ago car owner manuals told you how to adjust valves and tune carburetors. Now they tell you not drink the battery acid. We're so smart we're dumb these days.

I'm getting where I won't hardly burn without one now. Used to not bother me, I liked the gamble I guess lol. But after having a couple breakouts over the years we are a lot more cautious now. My part of Kansas has been fairly dry the last few years and I've seen timber stands catch that I'm...

Still a few out there fellas, these were found in between NoDak and Nebraska. Got to this great state yesterday at 1 after a late departure at home and was drinking a cold one at the airbnb by 4. Doesn't usually work out for me like that but the girls had their bird dog pants on today.

Years ago we also had a neighbor down the road that was fined and reprimanded by the county for plowing too close to the road and not leaving the right of way alone. Now days if you pass another vehicle on the gravel you might have to both put your mirrors in to not hit corn stalks growing in...

The attention this program gets from usda and nrcs tells me everything I need to know of it's direction. Years back in our area of Kansas we had an active agent that tried to push enrollment, explain programs, and enforced maintenance on already existing crp. The last several years in our...

Had to watch the Chief's lose yesterday. Sure am getting tired of that

Commisioners, politicians, and badges, never hurts to know a few.

I have an old Belgium and a new sweet 16 as well. I believe the old ones are more solid and probably better crafted but this new shoots smooth and is so light compared to the old one it's hard to go back to carrying the old one all day. The other benefit I've seen so far is I hunted 5 days of...

I'm no game warden fan but look at it this way, your ole lady is walking with you and long tail blows out at her feet. Do you let it go or shoot? I'd send feathers flying, in which case she would need a license.....just buy her the license. We spend money on way dumber shit for them than that!

Same reason there "aren't " any in Kansas
