Well i dont see a lot of the north central kansas counties that i hunt in on there so better than last year...looks like things may be improving..dang less than 4 months til the opener...i dont know if i can wait that long..for some reason this season has me more excited than i have been in a long time
 
Whew! Just missed my two counties.
 
It includes all of the counties I regularly hunt...for the third year in a row. Two years ago I completely understood. Last year it made a little less sense, but ok. This year I'm really struggling to see how this is necessary in the counties I hunt.

Even Sedgwick county is on the list. As of this morning's paper Wichita is .2" over average for the year on rainfall. Cheney Lake is almost a foot high and releasing water.

My comments don't apply to all counties on the list. Some are certainly still very dry. However, for many counties, they seem to be allowing haying and grazing simply because they can.

Click to expand...

maybe the trend has now come to be a bit political? :eek:
 
Many of the areas I checked were near average rainfall, or within an inch. Seeing that folks who did not have cattle can lease their land to be hayed or grazed seemed odd.
