    Dead deer?

    A lot of reports of sick and dead deer this year. Many are the result of brain abscesses from fighting or EHD.

    creating better pheasant habitat on private land

    It doesn't matter where the burns are being conducted, big bluestem, little bluestem, switchgrass, indian grass, blue gramma, hairy gramma, side-oats gramma, and buffalo grasses all evolved under the effects of fire and that is necessary to keep them vigorous. Setting your projected dates and...

    I think you are going to find that the State biologists have more experience on average and also there are probably more of them. Both could serve you well.

    creating better pheasant habitat on private land

    Bob, to better answer some of your questions, native warm-season grass (NWSG) evolved with fire. Big bluestem and Indiangrass both are fire dependent, which means for them to prosper they need fire. A normal burn rotation can be every other year in areas with greater annual rainfall, to every...

    creating better pheasant habitat on private land

    Anyone can throw out options that will provide for some of the needs for pheasants on a piece of ground, and they are usually right that their management idea is pheasant friendly. However, to make your parcel of ground better for pheasants than it already is, you have to direct your management...

    Can you top stupid!!!!

    Had a hunter come to the house years back to ask me to help find his lost dog. He had looked until dark before coming by. The rifle deer season was opening that week, so as I was checking hunters I made a point to tell them to watch for this dog. I had taken the owner's dog box and vest in...

    Am I wasting my time ?

    Matto is on the right track. Especially in eastern Kansas, quail will function quite well on metabolic water and dew.
