Just go as long as you can even if it's just riding along. I had an older friend I hunted with for years and he had copd, the last couple years he just kinda rode along and it was still great to have him there. He said he felt like he was in the way but couldn't have been farther from the truth...

You can never go wrong snagging an ole humpback. Call me next time 👍

New flush of birds have showed up in our area of east central, seeing more last few days than I have all year. On a sad note, we took our milo out last week and I took the dogs on a run through 40 acres of it yesterday and didn't see one quail.

When I've over paid to buy them and over paid to feed/vet them they're going to earn their keep come fall. And they wouldn't have it any other way. Save them from themselves in the heat and never turn a lame dog out but other than that I hunt them. Run them hard before the season to build that...

It has gotten really cloudy over the years. When the program first came out the stipulations were clear and farmers were even required to leave standing strips in crops that were leased by WIHA. Now good luck finding anything in writing as it would then require them to enforce such...

I have a neighbor (who is quickly becoming my favorite) working on a prairie restoration project and they've been burning off the fescue in late August last couple years and it's really starting to show results. The native is really coming back and it seems to have the fescue on the run which is...

Like stated above get rid of any loose cats you see. If you're like our area fescue is taking over. If that's the case you'll need to work at getting rid of it too.

I grabbed a atlas from a gas station Saturday just hoping something would jump out and convince me to head out west this year. The drop in parcels is noticeable just to the eye in the areas I go, maybe half of last year? (Trying to find last years to compare) but then I figure only a quarter of...

Every time I miss now I'm just going to yell "don't want the exposure" so my buddy and dogs know why.

They are a little thin this year in this area. Usually thick 2 weeks before season then they're gone but I didn't even see that wave yet either.

Power lines beware!

Platte was the first area I ever hunted in SD and there is some beautiful country around there. During one death march in a river valley we found a spot up on a plateau overlooking the river and our whole group of 4 just stopped to take it in for a moment. I've told my wife she can throw me to...

We hunted the Platte area a couple years ago late October and there were ducks everywhere and I mean everywhere. Really cool to see. We hunted the Wakonda area last year same timing and hardly saw a duck.

What ounce of lead weight do geese prefer? Asking for a friend because if they keep shitting all over my dock and walkway at the lake he might want to know?

We got 1.2" in SE KS this morning but didn't even close the cracks. We'll take what we can get though, this might save some beans.

My EP's are Honky-tonk Attitude and Guard Rail lines and both retrieved naturally. I have always played a lot of fetch with all my dogs from puppies on and haven't had to force fetch one yet.

First let me commend you for your work. I too am a farmer but my conservation and wildlife efforts feel like a band-aid on a gushing wound sometimes when your surrounding farmers won't get on board so I understand the frustration. But if I was PF, KDWPT, QF, etc I would look at this as "this is...

I hear from farmers/neighbors regularly now that banks will not loan them enough to buy these farms that are being sold out from them for recreation. My property taxes have doubled in the last 3 yrs and my pasture rent is up 30-40% on what I've been able to keep, I've lost 320 acres in the...

We will go down as one of the saddest wildlife stories in the history of our country. We were once a state full of hunting opportunities and beautiful (to me) land full of habitat and animals. We're quickly turning this state into a desert with a deer tower in every quarter section. Makes me...

I shot my very first rooster at Valley Falls, used to be plenty of birds around there.
