How old is the dog?

I've never heard of you on this forum before. Must be a newbie.

No not all. We don't have habitat. CRP is gone and farmers farm and spray everything. If we had the CRP we had prior to 2010, we would have a ton of pheasants. That is when CRP started to expire in big chunks. We have lost a majority of those acres and the ones that are left are cut and...

This year had about the best grasshopper crop I have seen out here in over 20 years. And we were in extreme drought for over a year. More bugs this year than during the wet years of 2017, 2018, and 2019. Chicks need dry and warm nights to survive. Good rains in March are great but not in...

I shouldn't have said 6 sections, its 6 properties. 6 quarter sections.

Several properties were grazed. Seems like a large majority of the CRP were fenced this year. I don't know what the length of time is for grazing, I suppose it depends on the drought monitor but I don't really see cattle on any of the properties now. But the damage is done, no winter habitat.

I'm starting to see a lot of ground that is just grazed.

That emergency grazing of CRP should be for the landowner only. Not for every Tom, Dick, and Harry that wants to feed livestock. Good lord, right now it is a drought in Kansas to feed Texas cattle.

What I see here is that the active farmers and ranchers flock to the retired landowners and out of state landowners like flies on a rib roast as soon as the emergency grazing opens up. My landowner/neighbor is now nearing 80 and lives full time in Arizona. She has 6 sections of CRP. When...

These 2 held tight in the cattails this morning and the new model Montefeltro shot true to aim.

My dog caught a hen last year. Retrieved it to me, I picked it up and looked her over. Then released her and she flew out of sight. About 2 weeks later, she did the same thing. I released the bird again. My dogs are force fetched and taught to retrieve with a soft mouth. Same dog brought...

Saw a total of 3 birds today. 2 flushed at 100 yds. This one stayed a little closer.

This why I like the upland journal forum, no hot spotting.

I don't make the laws. That regulation is for all game.

Kansas on the KDWP website: Written permission is required to enter land posted with hunting and/or trapping by “Written Permission Only" signs, or land having trees or fence posts painted purple. Landowner permission should be obtained before pursuing wounded game onto private property. If you...

Crate training starts at 8 weeks of age when you bring the puppy home. Laying curled up anywhere has nothing to do with whether or not a dog needs crate trained. Obviously you don't really understand what crate training is, what the benefits are, and how to do it.

Pheasants can survive a drought just fine. That is why they live in dry climates.

Actually 1 week out, opens next Saturday. I was bowhunting today and never heard a shot.

Nope habitat.

No he is exactly right.
