Pups are growing nicely! About to get their eyes open. I still have males available. Third pic is Rainbow. troygs@hotmail.com

Trapper and Rain put together an octet of these beauties Thursday, May 12. 5 males and 3 females took a good part of the day arriving but all are well and holding momma down by the keel! These bloodlines should hold true to their heritage. All 8 are tricolors. Males available.

I'm still sitting on the fence waiting for burn weather. The humidity is going down to teens or single digits many days. Some days it bottoms out in the mid 20's. Most of the time we get a 180-degree wind switch within a day or two so things would need additional watching. Anything with a...

Looks like you sure were needing the burn from the amount of ash left! The first rain or snow will take that down and within a few days grass will start showing! I was planning on over 1000 acres here, but we have been in a severe drought and the wind and humidity haven't been cooperative. I...

I'm sure hoping to go. I've been to 2 before and a fella can sure learn a lot from these researchers.

I have a litter of setters due in the second week of May and I will try my damndest to NOT keep one. I'm carrying 14 right now and they aren't getting the time they deserve. My health has slid some in the past few years and I'm sure not doing 40 long days afield any more. Hopefully the...

Congratulations JMc! That's an exceptional career! Enjoy the extra time you have to pursue your soul-invigorating time outdoors! Retirement is looming for me in a few years. I can't say that I'll want to retire. I just know my anatomy isn't as resilient as it once was and a younger man...

Sorry Brown dog! My cemetery is way too long!

It is a restricted use pesticide.

Point man has it right. However, even Tordon RTU can be taken up by roots and damage or kill trees in close proximity to where you are treating stumps. I have had it stay working in the soil for 3 years, so it is not to be careless with. You might also look at Spike. It is a granular or...

Expanding forestation is one of the biggest threats to grasslands in the United States. Loss of these grasslands accounts for much of the decline in our upland bird populations. Where we can, I always try to favor the grass over the trees. Forestation is probably the biggest cost in my...

I don't know the limitations in South Dakota with the shorter season and cooler climate, but you could rotate your row crop with wheat and a legume like cowpeas or mung beans. If you need more cover for winter, you could mix those same legumes with milo and several millet varieties that would...

I had a buddy that I met via puppies. He lived at the north end of Tuttle Creek Reservoir at the time. At some point he had asked me where I would live if I had the choice to move closer to birds. I told him NW or NC Kansas. Before long he contacted me saying he had bought a place NW of...

I've fed Black Gold in the black bag for over a decade with good results. It's about $27/50# and I buy 12-40 bags at a time through a wholesale feed store.

Vetch pods are much larger as are their seeds.

Common name around here is deer vetch. I've also heard it called Persch's trefoil. Excellent quail food. Grows best in wet spring years. Throws its seeds when that pod erupts. A light disking can broaden its coverage. One of the top 4 quail foods here. I believe the picture above is Crown...

If you were closer, I have a root plow sitting here that could be borrowed to set back the influence of the trees! Wise decision to not tolerate the limited productivity of those acres and stop losing resources that won't pan out for your income goals!

My 2022 plans are Optomistic! I have 1121 acres on the spring burn plan and 556 on the summer schedule. I plan to go through each burn after they start to green up and cut any trees out in the grass as well as the ones refuged in the middle of tree rows and plum thickets. I have a new NAWCA...
