    Went through hell getting my email confirmed. Been working on it for a couple of months. Received .18 yesterday. Town had .5 in the first rain and maybe more after. Can't seem to buy a good rain. Lake is down 3 feet. Been trying to fill it since August last year. Went down 10 inches in...

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Storms snuck up on us yesterday. Got .09, the .01, then .32 for a total of .42. Just planted Japanese millet in the marshes this week. This rain should bring all that up and give it a kickstart!

    Food plot failure

    Might try using German Millet and drilling it over the row crop planter. It would put more seed out there and with the smaller seed, it would be harder to find.

    We got .78 Saturday night. Nice rain, but still no runoff to fill ponds or the lake. I drove to Ellsworth yesterday and from around Sterling, north, the creeks were bank full and water was standing in the fields! That 3-6 inches they got might be more than a fella needs!!!

    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.

    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!

    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...

    grazing limitations

    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...

    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...
