thanks for pointing out crop layers are from 2023. wonder why?

allan savory has been leading the fight to convert desert back into grassland thru intensive grazing. its very interesting, and i think he has proved the theory in africa and new mexico. several years ago he quoted from an old book by an english lord that said something like this. you cannot...

i brought up a federal upland stamp with QF and Conservation Federation of Missouri 8-10 years ago. was pretty thoroughly poo-poo'd. couldn't figure out whether it was just another one of my bad ideas, or just wasn't their idea, or it was just too difficult to pull off, but they weren't...

as i said, landowners do what they think is best for their land and family. road right of ways and corners should be targeted as habitat projects like pollinators or warm season buffers. we ran into places where a hot wire was strung on the road side of the ditch to get every last bit of...

i did more planning for this trip than ever. walk in only, because deer season was starting, and knocking would be a waste of time. consulted the drought map, severe storms and hail maps, kdwp forecast and counts, onx hunt map with trees crops and cover filter. i targeted cover (crp, draws...

i wear a standard carhart pocket tee shirt under thin dull flannel shirt and a medium weight upland vest. if its below 40 degrees i add a medium weight zippered hoody. below 20 degrees, i might go with the thinnest long underwear top, but its got to be really cold to wear the bottoms. went...

I found Lovelace Seeds while doing my fescue to warm season/pollinators conversion. i had some bare fencerows and areas of chop and drop, that needed shrubs or transitional trees. they had everything i needed: smooth sumac, plum, false indigo, and dogwood. now whenever i do any clearing or...

its also been said for years, that quail are capable of multiple hatches when they lose a nest, and that they will nest multiple times a year when populations are low. capable maybe, generally not true. when we see small birds early season, we tend to think multiple hatch. the quail study in...

a couple on facebook market place right now. pleasant hill, mo

scott linden posted on his site about using "Show Sheen" available at any tractor supply. spay on a couple times early season works for quite awhile. makes my setters coat silky. most burrs don't stick, tougher belly and armpit burrs come out by hand or picking with comb. easily reduces 70%...

noticed my little buddy was off food last weekend. chistmas monday was breathing shallow . tuesday morning got pee and poop samples, vet says bad kidney/ urinary infection, ok. next morn really shallow breathing obvious distress, back to vet. xray shows air in chest cavity. off to emergency...

don't know whether motion makes it more accurate. i have updated both collar and handheld again this season, both were up to date. garmin: if you see this, please let me help redesign your 550 plus, the handheld unit was obviously designed by someone who doesn't hunt, doesn't hunt with...

sorry to leave you hanging rusto, went to a "missouri quail restoration landscape" opening week. buddy and i hunted as best we could, as the shortest cover was 3-1/2 to 4ft tall, warm and dry. couldn't see my setter most of the time, but i could hear him breathing. he got birdy in 2 places...

515, disturbance of warm season grass was talked about in the habitat forum. there are some good videos on youtube by hamilton native seeds. bob white 1 and 2. don't know how to copy, or i would. they discuss disturbing warm season grasses by grazing and burning to make it quail mecca...

thanks jpace, i can't ever find anything on their website, it tends to change alot, so i do a formal information request for the raw data. if you look at the mdc breakdown by zoogeographical regions everything looks fair. when you put the actual quail counts on the missouri county map, it...

i formally requested the roadside counts from mdc this year just to see if there was somewhere i could go try to find a few birds. looks pretty dismal to me. of course a roadside count (used to be a rural mail carrier route) is not exact science, and i think they are trying to start a new...

does everybody else's 550 plus show strange distance and direction when you turn the collar on? This is on a tailgate after doing a recalibrate. I usually just lay them down in the field away from the truck, but I still get wrong direction and the distance is off by 10 to 12 feet. Out hunting...

i've been using the K9 Topcoat sporting vest several years now. seems to be good skid plate, and overall protection, never seen any chafing. great for setter in snow. they keep changing the material, and its now over $100. my last setter could shred one every 2-3 years, but i took it as saved...

seems several groups dedicated to bees, insects, grasslands, songbirds, grassland birds, hunting, waterways, food production, and the environment know that neonicotinoids are the likely the cause of species decline. hmmm. another smart guy said onetime. you can't change the policy of a...
