Glad you are finally getting some significant rain! We received .11 on the 25th, .07 on the 28, .56 on the 30th, and .35 this morning. Total for May was 3.5 inches. Still haven't gotten any run off. Biggest rain so far is .82. Lake is still 2 feet low and some of the ponds are still down to...

We added another .68 from yesterday's big storm. Maynard, hoping for a reprieve for you soon!

I repeated last year's breeding of Torch X Quill. I have 1 male and 1 female left. Both should be tricolors if folks remain where they have said they were on desires. These are older bloodlines that have been producing excellent hunting and trial dogs since the 1970's. My email is...

Hope that the forecasters are wrong about today and tonight. I don't need 80 mph winds. I've already had 2 big chunks of trees fall in the yard. Both are 16 to 30 inches thick. One is really close to the kennel and hung up in another tree. It's leaning away, so I hope it doesn't back up.

WooHoo, add another .01 and .42 from the last two days.

We received another .80 yesterday. It has increased the inflows to the lake a bit, but most of it went in the ground. Came really slow and nice!

Added .82 last night. Hoping for more through Monday!!!

We're still dry here in southcentral. Had over an inch in January, .08 in February, .24 in March, and now .57 in April. We're way behind, but hoping to get back into a normal or near-normal cycle. I've held off on all but 1 of my burns so far. We've had 2 wildfires at the campground. Need a...

Just so it's out there, I have repeated this breeding and they are due in about 2 weeks.

I graze most of the wildlife area that I manage. For quail, research has found that bobwhite will almost completely abandon ungrazed grasslands. It is a short time in all but some of the driest areas before the cover gets too thick for bobwhite to use it. They are sight feeders and travel...

Had .36 last weekend.

Yeah, they have all gone to their new homes. I kept 2 myself and really like them. I may breed this cross again when she comes in next time. If I don't do that, I have lines on two line bred Tomoka males I might use. Brandon, you might get me your contact info and I'll put you on the call...

Talking quail. Intense cold following snow cover can really affect these smaller birds negatively.

Haven't pulled the gauge yet, but I'm guessing 5-8 inches. Not good for the birds! Have 4 foot drifts on the lee side of some fairly small crop fields I passed. Sure hate that this is going to be followed by low, low temps!

Had 4-5 inches here. Had .42 in the gauge once it melted. Next week looks like we'll be indoors a lot again.

Moisture this winter will sure make a fire in March more possible. Got a trace of wrap around precip this afternoon. Cooling off for sure!

That help you with my goals? Got another .60 last night. Marsh construction halted for the holidays and the January rifle doe season.

I don't want to hijack this thread. You might read this post: https://forum.ultimatepheasanthunting.com/threads/burn-range-management-season.17701/ This particular burn was a safety burn of 9 acres to allow the contractor building the new marshes to burn his log piles without worrying about...

Only .17 here. Nice to lay down Wednesday's burn.

I am not set off hearing it. I agree with a lot of it. Was a hunter long before I was a biologist. We are still working with a 1960's staffing in many places and the demands on our staff have definitely increased since then. I (hunter Troy) think that we need to get back to "Fair Chase" a...
