Update, .46 yesterday and .12 this morning. Holding vigil over Raine who is expecting pups at any time!!! Hope she gets done on the weekend.

If you want birds, the weeds are just as important as the grass as long as they are not noxious.

I hope you got into the 36 page portion of it. The left orange tab brings that up. It's what I'm using for my fire and grazing regime. Of course I am stocking a bit lighter than the neighbors as I am not only trying to benefit bobwhite but also whitetail, turkey, etc.

Yeah, Maynard, I'd sure like to see some population numbers take an upswing! It's been a tough few years. My deer have made some progress, but most everything else hasn't. Had walnuts all over the yard and never saw any squirrel activity. Turkeys are around, but not in the numbers we had a...

Added 1.02 to the 3.28 for a total of 4.3 inches this month! That's sure a change.

Thanks for the questions LJF! There are many ways to graze to benefit bobwhite. In general, if you are favoring the NWSG ecosystem with whatever grazing system you use, you are probably benefitting bobwhite. Pheasants are not as prairie obligate as quail are, so most of their management will...

Finished the light of day yesterday at 1.65 total. Overnight since I dumped that out of the rain gauge we've had another 1.63. THAT ought to help!

We've been mostly at a complete standstill here. The severe fire danger this spring prevented me from burning anything. I did get 130-160 acres burned by a wildfire that started on the highway and ran 4 miles north in 50 mph winds before running into wheat ground and dying. We spent a good...

WooHoo! The sky finally opened up at 3:00 this morning and we've had 1.52" since. It is raining again now and prospects look to favor more ahead!

Added .72 more on the 19th.

Picked up .97 yesterday and a bit of light stuff today. Other than that, had .06 total from 2 events earlier this month! Between me and my help, we saw 5 bobwhite last week on the area.

Sweet! Hope that bumps the upland bird mating interest! They need all the help they can get!

.48 in this weeks total. Not a drought buster nor the 3 inches the weather boys and girls predicted. More of the same.

We did get .84 inches in the rain Friday night! It sure started the grass on the wildfire scar greening up! Cover crop fields look better as well.

I've had 3.73 inches since September 30. Seeing a lot of vegetation dying and am not seeing some wildlife that seem to have disappeared. It's ugly!

I could sure help you learn the trapping methods that will take coons. Give me a holler and stop by and we can work you through a lot of trapping methods you can use. Conversely, the artificial feeding of deer, and coons at the same time, makes those raccoons more fecund! That means larger...

Twice I've had my hunting partner flush a coyote the dogs had pointed and the coyote almost ran over me while watching my partner. On both occasions I let the coyote know I was there when they were about 15 feet away by jumping at them and hollering. Both flopped onto their side still trying...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Had .21 more on the 18th with the rain/snow mix.

Did a bit better here. Had a flat .90 in the gauge this morning!
