I sadly take pleasure in reading what happened to Tyson -- but I'm not really ashamed after what they have done to the poultry business and are by the looks of this business setup with the feedyard owner doing the exact same business model to the beef business. God can only hope for most of...

I was fortunate to be able to purchase 72 acres - was an 80 save for the RR tracks running through it now a trail -- anyways next door to the 6 acres we live on now and closed on it last June. About 45 or so of it is farmed. 22 or so is pretty much waste but about 10 was farmed up until 2018...

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 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...

This forum is slow so not sure there are many active Okies on here (sorry as a Kansan that what we were taught to say hahaha - I'm sure you have a nickname for us) Anyways KS has had many debates over how our WIHA program is funded which I believe is mostly Pitman Robertson funds -- from my...

Hi all - I'm getting closer to having all the dominos fall in place finally on building a new house/shop on roughly 80 acres we bought. Looking for some suggestions or input or ideas from folks --- Here's some things about my situation: Presently 2 Setters - at max Id likely never have...

My wife and I purchased a small chunk of ground next door to where we live now - farmland, waste, timber - we will build a house on it but I had the inkling before we bought it the lumber was worth some money. Had a timber buyer come out and I inked a deal with them - simple one - they can...

Bought some farmland that we will build our house on that is continguous to the 6 acres we presently live on near Topeka - Our land goes all the way and butts up to Forbes Air Base/Air port -- It's been discontinued as a commercial airport for a # of years - but private aviation, the national...

Been wanting to have a chunk of land for many years -- finally had the opportunity present itself and we've been waiting since last fall for it to happen. Closed on it yesterday - land butts up to our house so w our existing 6 acres it's nearly 80 -- has a public trail running through it so...

I have no idea if any of you joined the meeting or not - I heard 3 folks I believe speak to the duck issue - commissioner Sporer even piped up on the issue which was nice. My son was with me at home and I did not have quiet so could not speak verbally but did present a question regarding deer -...

I put up this same post on Bowsite as many participants there are active or so seem to be politically active and very aware of the issues facing KS Sportsman. This thread is not meant to be political at all - just a way to "Organize" folks to stand up for KS hunting and access as Im sure the...

Anyone on here planning on making any trips to Nebraska, ND, SD or Eastern Wyoming? I'm near Topeka KS and have a dog I'm pretty excited about - adopted him last year from someone that passed away and he was a field trial prospect - I got him on wild birds in KS for 22 or so days. He came on...

The title may be a little scandalous - guess it depends on the eye of the beholder. I've been a member - was a member and volunteered for about 2-3 years for a local Quail Unlimited then Quail Forever chapter. Lived in KS all my life save for a couple years side tracked in SW Florida, deep...

I'll be out Fri to Sun - wife knows how much I love hunting - she is graduating nursing school so I no longer have to stay around home as much since she'll be back to normal helping with our kindergartner etc....anyways glad that's behind us - can get back to a more "normal" if there is such a...

I'm looking at a bus for sale in between Sioux Falls SD and if you draw a line as the crow files between Sioux Center IA - It's somewhat medical related and deals with senior citizens - Never been to that part of SD or Iowa near the border - Anyone familiar with the area? Maybe the income...

Anyone have experience with hand dug wells? I just had 2 filled in on my property today. I'll have to post pictures in the next few days - sadly photos of the larger one will not even come close to doing it justice or conveying how big it was and the work that went into it. Wife and I live in...

This post may be a long shot but I had to back out of a trip to Texas last weekend and stay home with the family - too many weekends gone...ha I am really wanting to get out one last time and this weekend will be my last chance as I have a work training trip the week of Feb 20th - whats...

I'm not asking for honey holes - I've only hunted in KS my entire life except for one instance just over the OK border - literally on the state line, same in Nebraska and I walked in CO for about 5 mins on the state line. I was speaking to an old neighbor of mine I've stayed in touch with - he...

I have all next week off and a buddy has until Wed that he can hunt. We'll each have 1 dog each - My 7yr old setter and he will have a nearly 1 yr old GSP. Right now I'm trying to debate going to some places we know or just try a new place altogether. The grasslands may call my name as well...

For any of you on Facebook if you haven't seen a video I'm sure you will soon. Made the local news I believe. (I dont watch the local news but saw a link that appeared KSN will be doing or has done a story) This is not a political thread in anyway, just simply posting some news...
