    Thank you! Plenty of satisfaction seeing them completed. A lot of folks will benefit from these in the years to come.

    Spring habitat work

    It was part of a larger project that included cleaning the silt out of 2 canals, repairing and raising a dike, repairing another dike, replacing the water control structure in one of the ponds, and some tree removal. The bill wasn't broken down by project. Just another catch up project that I...

    Spring habitat work

    Spent some time in June working to upgrade some area ponds that Mr. Beaver has traditionally poked holes in the dams. We pulled off adjacent trees, re-established the slope, layed erosion fabric, and rip rapped them with broken concrete. Nice project to have done.

    Spring habitat work

    We have been hard at work this week mowing and disking fire breaks for our summer burns. A flat on the 6110 halted mowing Thursday. Got that fixed Friday and got the tractor home. I plan to try to also burn some of the burns that didn't get done this spring to get us back closer to being in...

    English Setter Pup in Kansas

    I had a puppy buyer catch covid when he was supposed to be picking up his pup. As a result, he bowed out of buying her. So, I have 1 masked tricolor female for sale that is 11 weeks old come Monday, June 7. Sire and dam are on site. This pup is 6th generation of my breeding on the bitch side.

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Great to hear from you Maynard! Hope you are well! Only .06 at the Byron Walker last night. We seem to be in the hole! I have goslings, but haven't seen poults yet.

    And the 2 canals that we cleaned out and used the spoils from one to re-establish a decent height on the dike.

    What do you feed your Hunting Dog

    I have fed Black Gold in the black bag for over a decade and get along well with it. I fed PP until I got my 5th dog. Spent some time on Kasco after that until it went away.

    Spring habitat work

    Here are a few thousand words! Seeding the dam, the dike repair, some new members of the goose lodge, a mink I flushed on one of the marsh dikes, and white-faced ibis enjoying the dewatering marsh! There is also one of the respect the area gets from some of the locals!

    Spring habitat work

    The list never seems to get shorter. You get one thing done and driving home think up 5 more things that need done. Supposed to find out soon if we were accepted for a NAWCA grant. If we get that, I'll get busy in a whole new direction.

    Spring habitat work

    I've only gotten 2 burns done so far this spring. It's either been high winds or low humidity this spring. I have also missed about 3 good burn days because I could not get help. I got the east end of the lake dam planted to native grass where we took the trees and brush off of it. I still...

    Burning the CRP

    We had buffalo on this wildlife area when I took it over. They stood in water most of the year, which made them somewhat unhealthy due to parasites. I got them moved off in '97. There is a spring seep right through the middle of the 70 acres they were on. I was told that Winchester arms cam...
