    Coconut Oil - removes cockleburs!

    scott linden posted on his site about using "Show Sheen" available at any tractor supply. spay on a couple times early season works for quite awhile. makes my setters coat silky. most burrs don't stick, tougher belly and armpit burrs come out by hand or picking with comb. easily reduces 70%...

    garmin pro 550 plus tt 15 mini start up

    don't know whether motion makes it more accurate. i have updated both collar and handheld again this season, both were up to date. garmin: if you see this, please let me help redesign your 550 plus, the handheld unit was obviously designed by someone who doesn't hunt, doesn't hunt with...

    Better than nothing

    sorry to leave you hanging rusto, went to a "missouri quail restoration landscape" opening week. buddy and i hunted as best we could, as the shortest cover was 3-1/2 to 4ft tall, warm and dry. couldn't see my setter most of the time, but i could hear him breathing. he got birdy in 2 places...

    Upland hunters ATTN

    thanks jpace, i can't ever find anything on their website, it tends to change alot, so i do a formal information request for the raw data. if you look at the mdc breakdown by zoogeographical regions everything looks fair. when you put the actual quail counts on the missouri county map, it...

    Upland hunters ATTN

    i formally requested the roadside counts from mdc this year just to see if there was somewhere i could go try to find a few birds. looks pretty dismal to me. of course a roadside count (used to be a rural mail carrier route) is not exact science, and i think they are trying to start a new...

    garmin pro 550 plus tt 15 mini start up

    does everybody else's 550 plus show strange distance and direction when you turn the collar on? This is on a tailgate after doing a recalibrate. I usually just lay them down in the field away from the truck, but I still get wrong direction and the distance is off by 10 to 12 feet. Out hunting...

    Dog skid plate vest that prevents chafing - recommendations?

    i've been using the K9 Topcoat sporting vest several years now. seems to be good skid plate, and overall protection, never seen any chafing. great for setter in snow. they keep changing the material, and its now over $100. my last setter could shred one every 2-3 years, but i took it as saved...

    Thoughts on neonicotinoid insecticides?

    seems several groups dedicated to bees, insects, grasslands, songbirds, grassland birds, hunting, waterways, food production, and the environment know that neonicotinoids are the likely the cause of species decline. hmmm. another smart guy said onetime. you can't change the policy of a...

    Thoughts on neonicotinoid insecticides?

    i'm glad you brought this up, even though its not getting the debate it deserves. it;s obvious that QF or PF is not going to touch this, and that none of our respective conservation departments will either. when you break it down to its simplest form, quail either don't have a safe enough...

    How is everyone's spring habitat projects going?

    P.D. can you tell more about cattle stocking when the goal is more quail? how many acres of what kind of forage are you grazing? how many grazing days/head? do you have a formula, or is it by what average grazing height you are comfortable with for the time of year and conditions? how many...

    leader in habit and quail success

    from my observations, in west central missouri today, the normal cattle farm is a spring, summer, early fall, fescue based operation. typically around november 1st, depending on your stocking rate, it turns into a fescue based hay and supplemented grain operation. with a really dry start to...

    leader in habit and quail success

    my original post was meant to poke my fellow missouri quail hunters into reporting how great the hunting is. i had noticed the article that said pheasant dramatically up nw and nc, and southern quail were up 100%. when i decided to post, i looked up the article again to make sure i had the...

    leader in habit and quail success

    i thought missouri was the leader for habitat and quail comeback success a year or two ago. southern quail were supposed to be 100% higher than 2021. this years pheasant forecasts said dramatic increase north and northwest, and quail should be good. it sure is quiet on here

    covey headquarters seed

    thanks for the responses. i'm converting some overgrazed droughted upland fescue pastures to warm season grasses with pollinators. i planned 3 acres of indigo, summac, plumb, and blackberry along bare fencelines and open hilltops. Missouri Dept. Conservation sells bare root seedlings, but at...

    covey headquarters seed

    does anyone have a source for quail covey headquarters seed mix? it used to be a QF thing in the early 2000's. it was a mix of false indigo, winged summac, and wild plumb, or similar local variants. trying to establish bare fencerow and hilltop escape cover clusters. i bought bags at a qf...
