Each morning lotteries require staff to facilitate them. If we are open 7 days a week, that doesn't fit in to our 1 and 2 man staffed areas, much less our managers that staff 2-10 areas.

It won't be a matter of them making the decision to give the birds some rest. We will have to pass regulations modifying when our areas are open so that rest is part of the season structure. Folks will buck initially, but in the long run our harvest will be increased by having those birds stay...

Statewide our waterfowl areas are getting so much pressure that our waterfowl are often blown off ahead of when they would normally have moved further south. We need to limit some of how that pressure is applied and that will ultimately increase our harvest by keeping those birds in state...

Some of the millet varieties are much more adapted to droughty conditions. Where all my area is sandy loam, I include proso, German, and sometimes pearl millet in my mix for those years when the more productive varieties burn up.

Have a NAWCA grant and we're building 2 additional wetlands.

When you have to bid things out, timing has to be flexible!

We've had 1.09 here so far. Knew I could make it rain by starting a dirt moving project!

You've been a wonderful son! Now take the time to relive the sport that helped make you that man! You've earned the chance to walk those miles again!

That one picture shows all of the various stages of woody invasion. Shelterbelts planted with good intentions have caused enormous destruction. A more careful selection of tree species would have been all it took to have prevented this. One thing Matto said is only true to a point. At some...

This is a good resource. https://neinvasives.com/E-1054-WoodyEncroachment.pdf

Again, it is a cost thing. They will continue to expand and you continue to spend your habitat dollars doing work on that same thing over and over. It is much easier to find some other species to plant that will provide the positives that Russian Olive's do without the negatives.

I do still have 1 male and 2 females available. First and fourth pics are a tricolored female. Second and fifth are tricolored male. Third and sixth are an orange and white female.

When you manage a wildlife area for hunting, you need to make the "best use" of what should be adapted to be there. The habitat type that is most endangered in the United States is native grasslands. There is significant value to extensive grassland tracts. Unfortunately, our predecessors did...

The girls!

The boys! Cat not included!

Pups turned 3 weeks Friday. Starting to feed on momma when she's standing and eating her food. No escape now!

Thanks Maynard!

Torch and Quill whelped a litter of 9 on August 11, 2023. This is a collection of the renowned "Smith" kennel bloodlines with The sire being a grandson of Tomoka and the dam being a granddaughter of Brannigan. I have 2 of each gender available. $600. 620-532-5900.

I talked to the manager on Black Kettle Wildlife Area a few years back about this very topic. They had been doing some research with collared birds and he indicated that the quail nested in the black at the same rate as the unburned. I think the important thing to remember is that quail are a...

Have dreaded moving all my life! Have at least one more to do. If I were choosing, it would be deep in pheasant country. However, 4 grandchildren near where we are now may get me trumped!
