    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    One big rain event of 5 plus inches is the only thing that will put any water in Cedar Bluff. Sorry but I would take it. But it is going to take several big rain events to bring it back up to full pool.

    Montefeltro Likes/Dislikes?

    Your old super 90 Monte is totally different from the new model. My new model and my older model that I bought new 2018 are totally different. I wouldn't advise anyone to fire goose loads through an inertia driven gun. That is like expecting 25 miles per gallon out of a 3/4 Suburban. The OP...

    Ficcohi 20 ga. Golden Pheasant Ammo

    That's why I said "here". Been buying them for over 50 years here in Kansas and never seen them advertised as a flat.

    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    Well it's hard to tell if boots leak out here. I would have to wear them in the shower.

    Ficcohi 20 ga. Golden Pheasant Ammo

    I know you guys call them flats but they have always called a box of 10 a case here. Even Rogers calls it a case on their website.

    Montefeltro Likes/Dislikes?

    I have a new model 12 gauge Monte with a 26 inch barrel that I hunted exclusively with the last 2 season. I put around 10 boxes through it of Kent 6 shot 1 3/8 oz 2 3/4 inch shells through it. No recoil at all for me. Great gun and probably one of my favorites. I also have the older style...

    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    I find them very comfortable. And like the customer service. I have 3 pairs of them. I had a pair that I bought in 2020 that started leaking last year during dove season. I called Danner and they sent me a $100 gift card for a new pair. This particular pair had a spot where the stitching...

    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    I wear Danner Pronghorns and Irish Setter Wingshooters. Both good boots but the Danners are more comfortable. Some people complain that they aren't what they used to be but if you take care of them you will find that they last. Put mink oil on the leather regularly and put them on a boot...

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    This brood looked to be 3 weeks old which would have had them hatch when it was cooler so I feel good about the hatch now. Maybe I can shoot 25-30 birds this year which would be the most I have shoot since 2008.

    Digging

    I have never had a dog dig in 50 years of owning dogs. But my dogs have always been on concrete and I would never leave my dogs unattended outside of the kennel. So my advice would be to keep the dog kenneled on concrete. I never liked the idea of using a shock collar for something that the...

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    1.20 yesterday for us. No downpours. All of our rains have been slow and steady. Just those cold temps the end of May and early June. But no brood sightings.

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Local KDWP biologist told me that those hatching chicks during the cold rain could have suffered loss. But it was a week before peak hatch. I think in the NW corner it dipped below 45. We had 2 mornings in the upper 40's but it stayed in the 50's and low 60's during the day. He did say we...

    .90 overnight with more on the way. Hope it slows the wheat harvest to give those chicks a chance to grow. Looks like we might actually avoid emergency haying and grazing for a change.

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Do you think that the rains with cool temps had any negative effects on early broods and nests? There were a couple of mornings here in the upper 40's with rain.

    Ficcohi 20 ga. Golden Pheasant Ammo

    I wouldn't buy a case of anything until I patterned my gun. My philosophy is different. I always try and buy the most expensive, whether it is a shell or athletic shoes. You need to find the best shell and choke combo. You might find that 3 inch shells pattern better for you. But generally...

    1.15 early Sunday morning and another .25 this morning. Hope the cool weather and rain don't doom the early hatch.

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    They let water out of cedar bluff on Monday to supply Hays with water. Was supposed to lower the water level about a foot. It can't rain enough out here to fill the reservoir and replenish the Aquifer.
