2011-2012 -- tailed a bit into 2013 if I recall. But 2011 and 2012 were horrible. Western KS looked like the moon - only places that got rain was far NW KS and SW Nebraska those 2 years if I recall. Got up in the one hundred teens for a high in Wichita during the summer of 2011 or 2012.

Relaying a story of something I witnessed on Saturday which was F'n awesome -- as a 42 yr old man there are very few things I thought could make me like a giddy school boy again but Saturday mid day it did. For any of you KS guys familiar with the turnpike between Wichita/Emporia there's a stop...

I've used the term dirthead I believe -- not all are that way - I've never been able to tour Mikes farm and would love to, to see his management practices which I'd guess are far different than most and wildlife friendly. He finds a way to make a profit and work with mother nature I'd assume...

If you had model 385 or 485 for sale I'd have bought them all. 100s are fixed chokes I'm thinking and ugly - plain? (my opinion)

I moved from the Wichita area to Topeka area 5 yrs ago but still have some investments in Wichita -- if you want to maintain better bird hunting opportunities do NOT move NE - plus the RE market is considerably better in Wichita. I dont know your financial situation - but in Lawrence your...

Somewhere on this discussion board Either a KDWP employee or the actual KDWP account responded and gave the simple form of the answer - or hell I saw it on the KS Hunting/Fishing FB group from an actual Wildlife and parks employee. You hit the nail on the head - the information we have been...

My point is - if you charge $15 per person to access Wiha via a stamp and are losing Federal money why do it? I'm starting to see why this discussion forum is dying.

Per many discussions - anything charged for accessing WIHA property (I believe) such as a stamp etc would decrease the funds from the feds - so it appears to be a zero sum game. I'm sure there's other work arounds. It's been discussed on here before - think even the KDWP maybe piped up - I...

You can't do that - per my understanding it would decrease the pitman robertson funds the state receives to enroll and pay for WIHA My simple understanding of how to increase the funds is it's partially based on the # of hunting licenses you sell (Hence another good reason KS missed the...

Great -- I'm sure wherever you live will be glad to keep you. :D

Non res upland hunters were always welcomed with open arms. You've misinterpreted most of the discussion if you have come to any other conclusion. Where do you live Wolfchief and how long have you been hunting in KS?

They didnt - this started years ago -- It's the low hanging fruit mentality and the landowners/outfitters looking to profit off of the animal -- likely easier to deal with less people I dont know - but the short sightedness of the elected officials and landowners is appalling - Being brainwashed...

As far as property taxes - this is on Ag land -- AG land has very little property tax collected on it compared to residential property relatively speaking --- raw land and especially ag land is not assessed as high of a tax as residential land. You can look up the KS Statutes - study mill...

I whole heartedly disagree -- property tax on Ag land is a drop in the bucket - it's worthless and makes no difference to the bottom line if a farmer or out of state person buys the land. Their purchases of accessories and corn would pale in comparison to the trickle down effect of larger...

Here's the thing - they'll shoot anything that walks as what we have is bigger than the german shepherd sized deer that grow in the south. In 5-10 years the genetics will be screwed then they'll sell and bail out -- that or they wont shoot much at all and you'll have an overpopulation situation...

I agree you are correct in your conclusion the dipshits that run the Wildlife commission and our state House/Senate see the # of tags as the revenue generator - but IMO and Id have to dig to find the economic studies - I'd wager the 5000 bird hunters have FAR MORE of an economic impact than the...

I think you and I see things very similarly. What's sad is the issues a lot of us see - many do not - the problem is the issues we see will take many years if not decades to become apparent to the masses. In KS and I'm guessing TX, OK, NM and likely parts of SD and E Colorado (Dont know...

I've had a 3 yr journey with it - towards the end I was almost believing my crappy family dr in that I needed psychiatric help as I didnt know what else could be wrong with me. I'll pipe up later on more of the story, but here's a list of what went on with me for 3 plus years -- I always kept...

Dont know where you live Birdhunter6 - but it's KS -- Christmas day it was near 70 here -- Friday it was 50s or 60s - Friday Night/Saturday morning it got into single digits and last night (Sat night) it went negative) -- 2 days from now it is supposed to be 50s then Wednesday maybe single...

If you're talking to our KS legislature I hate to be a negative nancy but there isn't much you can say as it falls on deaf ears - however I do believe there are 2 commissioners now that get the problem - the rest are clueless and dont care. What needs to happen is the legislature needs...
