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!

Nice to have that heat broke! Had .53 so far today!

Ran my first county brood survey this morning. First sighting was 4 hen turkeys. The second was a single male bobwhite. Did get to see 2 jackrabbits, not on the survey, but a nice rarity! Had a hen pheasant with 2-7 week old chicks. We couldn't find any more than the 2 and they could fly...

Row-row-row your grass!

It missed me!

Always willing to help a friend! Spect I might take another splash tonight!

I'm behind. Got another .89 Saturday and .57 so far this morning. Glad it is coming in smaller amounts. It could really flood if we were to get a big one. I'm up to 8.2 for June so far! Not going to complain in light of the 2-3 years before now.

No, it is her third. I expect it is caused by her constipation. On a brighter note, another .50 inches of rain last night.

Hard to enjoy the tough ones. Has 2 pups waste away last night. Hate to have things happen that have no reasonable cause.

And you can add .64 from last night. What a 180 degree turn.

In May I received 1.76 inches where 3.69 is normal average. In June so far, I have received 5.6 inches where 4.39 is a normal average for the entire month.

Thanks Chessie! I may be getting old, but these all night whelping experiences are really testing my metal. The world is full of firsts! This female went two nights nesting and WAY after all the vet offices closed she had been in labor for hours and still hadn't given one push to indicate...
