http://rossyoung.com/sharedcovey.htm Ross Young's art is very popular amongst QU/Quail Forever/calendars/magazines/publications/etc. He paints all types of settings including all bird dog breeds --- great stuff. I guess if I can't be in the field for another 4-5 months I guess I'll have to...

by Joel Salatin. My 3rd book by this author (Salad Bar Beef and You Can Farm). Great books. I was turned on to him for his rotational grazing methods as I was wanting to increase my beef herd on the grounds I currently farm. Can't say I agree 100% with everything but the guy knows nature and...

By product of corn after the ethanol plants get their fuel. I hear it's a great cattle food source...anybody have any feedback?

Grabbed some quail and hit the field. Did some training with my Brittany pup -- she's real birdy dog but needed some polishing on stop to flush and steadying on her points. Excuse the shaking on video -- I didn't have my training/hunting partner with me to do the filming. She's coming...

I'm sure this could be debated between conventional tillage, strip till and no till... I'm researching no till and the soil benefits and ran across this video which is amazing. One of the big advantages to no till and not disturbing the soil is increase in earthworms that help with water...

Just submitted application (before Nov 15 deadline) for ~50 acres of existing fescue to be transitioned to native/upland habitat through WHIP program. This pasture borders another 40 acres of prairie and beautiful native grasses -- up to 90% of the cost share to get that crud out and put in the...

"fescue capital of the world" - great weather (had rained the night before), small breeze, 40-50 degrees. Covered the same ground we did last yr where we had kicked up 3 coveys. While 3 coveys was small, we thought we'd kick up a bird...notta. Good exercise for the dogs, getting them tuned...

I'm wanting to train on quail prior to the season. I have plenty of family ground to run dogs on...not wanting to do a preserve license but heard that there is a dog trainer/handler license available? Any one have info? I sent email to kdwp as their site has very little info.

Had some terraces rebuilt and had the dozer clear through some old waterways that was busting water into fields. It's all nice and shiny and we need to get some grasses in there. I'm thinking some wheat and maybe bluestem/native? Suggestions? Also, when can I broadcast the seed? It was...

Was reading another post that was mentioning alfalfa and wanted to ask some questions as it's been 20+ yrs since my family raised it and I was too young to remember these items: - how many cuttings can you get off alfalfa? - avg ton/acre per cutting? - avg price per ton? i'm seeing $90-100 per...

We have a 3 acre pond that is 50 yds out back door. It was cleaned/dug out 2 yrs ago (before we moved here) to which it was really stagnant at the time. what's your suggestions o'wise council? pond aeration? a windmill would look cool in my backyard grass carp? heard mix reviews that this...

The shrooms thread got me thinking about asparagus...we've got 3 honey holes that are over 50 yrs old and 1 that is 100 yrs old. I could eat my weight in those raunchy little devils. Boil, fry and grill. Lots of olive oil, wild garlic and wild onions (have more of them in the ditches to...

You guys know what I'm talking about....when off in the distant, you see your favorite hunting buddy rolling on ground as if they had something on their back they were trying to get off... Only to realize minutes later it was a dead carcass? We have a 3 acre pond in backyard and neighbors had...

Here's my cp38 plan. hopefully we get contracts signed and spring planting done. ground is chiseled so will need to harrow then drill. interestingly we had to leave 30 ft of tillable between point rows and existing crp contracts....that will be a food plot, possibly some pretty sunflowers...

Another part of our land has about 40 acre fescue pasture. We rent out to neighbor and they over-graze the pasture every 2 yrs with feedlot of cattle. Its grazed over pretty good right now. Question - has anyone had a tract this big in fescue, removed and replaced with native grasses? Cost...

Just submitted maps to FSA office - looking forward to starting on the quail buffers this spring. Also putting order in at Kansas State Forest site for my shrubs. They have a quail bundle that includes American Plum, Sumac and Peking Cotoneaster. Thinking about going with the Sandhill Plum as...
