Gotcha The trend is down.

That's a couple problems I agree, How would you explain the drops on control areas? Loss of birds on prime habitat with little ag influence. Specifically non sprayed native grasses or managed...

I'm all ears what is it? Why is available habitat not producing the numbers of game and song birds it is capable of?

I agree something is going on and nobody seems to know what it is.

Rabbit, there were always chickens west of where you went to school in those alkali pastures to the north and west of the old Wilder place.:) Shot them there regularly, just not a ton of roosters...

Glad you got out and had a good day. :) Sitting here monday regretting missing the first opener in 10 years in Iowa. Missed a few since my first in Iowa back in "78. I will get to have a few fun...

Firemens feed was always a blast. That place downtown still sell Kuchen and the best Rhubarb pie ever? Birds will be back, might take a few years. Good diverse habitat in the area.

I was told firsthand, soybeans just started in SE ND and N SD. Recent ran put a hold on harvesting. Corn is another month till start by an educated guess. Depends on the weather.

I went to a local auction about a month ago and saw a similar scenario. 483 guns sold from an elderly gentleman"s collection. A bunch of winchesters, brownings, and 60 old doubles along with a...

Cool study thanks!

Warm blob in the pacific is forecast to hold on through fall, hip boots may be needed. Can anyone say record rainfall?

It's the right direction, and a little good news!

Exactly! Well said.

IDK if bobcats eat or kill feral cats, but they do carry a tick born disease that is deadly to domestic cats. I have bobcats on the home place and the kids one house cat has been replaced several...

I'm 54, I remember roads disappearing that were there as long as anybody could remember. I remember flooded farmsteads 100 years old under 10 ft of water in the Dakotas. There was a cattail slough...

It's not just South Dakota. Spending time with in-laws in SE MO. They are really sweating it and much of the mid west is in the same shape. Nephews wife's family farms 8000 acres in ILL and they...

El Nino is holding on and looks to be a wet spring and summer. Most northern guys are planning on beans all ready. Price with tariff war and lack of contract increases is gonna make it tough this...

Weak El Nino is holding on and forecast to last through summer. SW should be wet this year. MO Too. SST's are about 1.5 degrees celcius above average.

Thank you for the erudite civil discourse, I have nothing to say on the political front. We are getting unprecedented pressure form both sides with logic and reason thrown out the window. I...

I agree with you, something has to be done to support or subsidize removal. There are no trappers left,you can't even pay for gas. I quit trapping in about 84. Things are out of whack and need to...

I agree with you on the perceived political fallout Troy. I am curious how removal of predators will not benefit the prey species. The time of year they are removed has little impact on their...

40-50 mile per hour winds and 18+ inches of snow. This one might be another cattle killer. Areas will be bad.

Might be, might also be pessimistic. Give it a go and report back, and good luck.

IDK, I know it does help. Anecdotal evidence would support this. I know on a quarter 20-30 bred hens from the commercial guys when they are done collecting eggs will produce some clutches. How...

Technically, I would consider the line from Aberdeen to Huron to Mitchell sort of the border to eastern S.D. and west of there central till an hour west of the river. And west river after that. ...
