    Quail numbers quadrupled with habitat management

    It has been a exciting but frustrating year here. On the MIL's place we have seen several quail and I hear them whistling off and on all day. However, I have yet to see any chicks. What I thought would also be a good turkey Spring has been a bust. My hens have all but disappeared on trail camera...

    Catscratch House and Habitat build

    Yea there is something amiss in the hormone department. If that is the case that deer will likely not lose its antlers it will be what is commonly called a "Cactus Buck". Perpetual velvet is a possibility.

    Catscratch House and Habitat build

    The snakes are crazy. Is there that many of them in your pond? What team was playing for that he got to go over seas?

    The Land of Milk and Honey

    Your farm does look like it has a nice layout and good travel corridors leading to yours.

    Potted apple graft question

    Remove them. They are decreasing nutrient and moisture levels to the scion.

    Those of you who deal with badgers

    Well if you want to get an adrenaline rush or make your butt cheeks clench a little tighter dig into a fresh mound of dirt knowing down there somewhere is a badger with a foothold trap on his foot. My preferred method was a long handled shovel in one hand and a pistol in the other. Waiting for...

    Trailcam pics

    I used to live in Mule Deer country and just don't recall seeing Mule Deer does with more than 1 fawn. Whitetails it was pretty much the norm to always see twins. Maybe our Mule Deer does weren't "prime breeding age" LOL

    I don't think twins in mule deer are all that common are they?

    Why is there such a lack of value to a human life in today's society?

    Lots of valid points you have all brought up. I do believe that there are lots of good and decent people in this world, but they seem to be overshadowed by those who are not most of the time. I hate to believe that the only way out of this constant decline in human "civilization" is a widespread...

    Honey Bees

    It has been a strong honey season here/ I am out of clean frames. I don't have time to build anymore or monkey with them. It has been unbearably humid for the last couple of weeks so I am sure the honey is too high in moisture content to pull and spin out without closing it up in a room and...

    Why is there such a lack of value to a human life in today's society?

    Not my typical post, but this thought has crossed my mind more than once in recent days. Maybe a sign of older age. LOL. Those of you in KS and possibly outside the state may have heard of a Sheriff's deputy being shot and mortally wounded on Friday evening in Phillips County, KS. What was a...

    Those of you who deal with badgers

    From someone who professionally trapped nuisance animals for a number of years, you are better off eliminating the prey base for the badgers. No food, no badgers. Badgers are very nomadic. They will come back to an area, but it might be days or weeks between visits. If they are protected where...

    Happy place?

    Not necessarily a specific spot, but everytime I go HOME to Nebraska once I get within about 15 miles of our family farm I just feel different. No matter where I have lived or for how long, HOME is in that "neck of the woods". It just feels like I belong there. Life throws us curve balls and...
