    Getting Good Rain

    Not to give you much mileage -- But forums in general are dying -- I hate it - but times are changing -- I guess at my age of 43 I was younger when these started and have been engaging/learning this way/form of communication for a long time - but younger folks and many older ones are abandoning...

    Getting Good Rain

    Well one can always wish! Ha The deer herd has been talked about as the crux of our problems -- it was managed with sound management principles (or pretty darn sound) at one point in time -- one can always wish it would get back to that. Someone posted about the finite resource --- Sure do...

    Getting Good Rain

    Troy you've never commented and I would never expect you to - but man I'd sure love it if you could be running KDWP or some part of it. Probably a thankless job but as has been hashed out here nothing can be accomplished when politics, money and wildlife all get mixed in -- I personally...

    Opening Day in Kansas

    I'd bet my paycheck he has better soil health, biologic diversity and the list goes on at his place -- hence the reason for more upland numbers -- upland birds are the canaries in the coal mine -- if they're doing well - many other species are going to do well too. Yes -- this is and will be...

    Opening Day in Kansas

    No one said they dont care about non residents -- My point was that it could turn around and we could have a great supply of a limited resource (that is upland hunting) -- it would attract non residents and re-activate non residents alike. As you alluded SD has the model for this - KS could...

    Opening Day in Kansas

    I dont have the time at the moment to find some of the economic studies -- If I recall correctly there are some out there -- but when I mean look at upland hunting globally -take a 100k ft view instead of close up. You're drilling in on non resident sales. I dont care about that and anyone...

    Opening Day in Kansas

    That's too bad -- it will only get worse as the 70/80 yr olds age out and the millennials take over or dont want to work and sell it to some Bill Gates type.

    Opening Day in Kansas

    The ignoramus and small minded view which is that of the ones in control is deer Upland birds have a far greater economic impact if you look globally at the economic impact and # of people that can partake in such a resource if it's healthy -- Ask South Dakota -- and simply look at...

    Opening Day in Kansas

    Do you think he'd be willing to leave it in CRP if he was paid by someone or a group of hunters leasing it? (I'd be interested depending on location) Anyways I went to ND with my brother end of Oct -- mother nature didnt treat us well but we had fun -- we ran into one farmer and spoke with...

    Looking for info on the Alma/Holdredge area in south central

    I'd seriously like that -- Him and my dad are the reasons I like the outdoors (hunting/fishing) -- I inherited some of his guns when he passed. They (my grandparents) were essentially forced to move away I think around WWii or so to find a job after he lost the farm and ended up in the Wichita...

    Hunter harassment walking road right of ways...

    Weather made us move out of the area of ND we were in and we tried SD -- I wasnt that impressed - but in ND did have a couple people come up on us pretty quickly for parking in front of their land and getting out of our truck (I had seen pheasants and parked a long ways (1/4 to half mile) away...

    Looking for info on the Alma/Holdredge area in south central

    I've never hunted Nebraska but the area you posted about caught my attention -- Both of my grandparents (both passed away in 2000 and 2003) - grew up in the Holdredge area and both of their families had farms there - My grandpa wanted to take over his but when his dad passed an aunt forced the...

    Upland Forecast

    Aberdeen tried that one and a half days. Yuck. Full of swamps and the entire countryside is coated in roundup w no cover. Everything mowed and full of most likely non native cool season grasses like brome and fescue. Probably have to commercial hunt or take a lab to a swamp w cattails to see...

    Upland Forecast

    Probably Kiowa or Edwards or somewhere around there? Its all went to shit -- I'm in S Dakota and this place is a joke -- weather chased us out of N Dakota -- if we dont see much tomorrow I'm never coming back to this state. The walkin here is a bigger joke than KS -- we drove to 20-30 that...

    Reports

    Those I;ve found best to do the shimmy shuffle on the ground flat on my back --drop my vest on the other side and set gun on other side or slide it under. Always check for cactus or burrs before placing hands or laying on the ground...ha. Worth walking to a for sure spot to cross.

    Crop weed killer killing chicks?

    K state is an Ag school -- do you in your right mind think they'd put anything out that goes against big ag they likely receive money from or would ruffle the feathers of the more sensitive ag producers? I thought you had more common sense than that. Are you sure your account has not been...
