Prairie Drifter

PD:

Just a few questions: Has he been house trained. How is he around other dogs. Any idea on how he is around cats? If I got him he would be a pet and my hunter partner.

Not a problem sir... glad to help!

You click "go to conversation", and viola. Your message should show up on the other member's profile.

I've always enjoyed Isabel, do you manage it also. Did it take a hit in 2010, seemed a little down. Thanks for the good work, Aaron.

Many thanks for your quick response. I have suspected for several years a direct correlation exists between the local quail declines after crop rotation in which soybean were planted. I am attempting to gather enough scientific data; so that I can present research evidence of these potential effects on bobwhite populations. Although I am not a Biologist, I have observed rapid declines in the years after Soybean Crops where planted on Federal Lands. At work we have several Agriculture Leases in which the AG contract lists soybeans as one of the crops of choice. I am hoping to obtain enough data that shows soybeans do not benefit quail populations and potentially could be attributing to its continued decline in our area.
Again Thanks. Gunner

Maynard told me that you may know where I can find some reference material concerning the relationship of the Quail Decline and soybean croplands. In that certain protiens in soybeans cannot be digested by quail. Can you point me in the right direction. Thanks Gunner
