Dakota Prairie Lodge west of kimball does lodging only packages.

When i used to raise bird for release i would take a pump up weed sprayer and mist the birds to help promote the oil in their feathers.

Do you have any pics of the brood to rooster in the growing stages and when full grown? I'm looking at trying about 35 acres of it but I would really like to see pics before I do. Thank you

I guide at a place in the kimball area, we do not release birds, we do however kill some pen raised birds do to neighbors releasing birds. For example this season so far we have killed around 900 birds and 13 have been pen raised. If we do shoot one I let clients know and show them. I’ve worked...

with in the next 2 years it will all be habitat. trees, nesting grass, winter cover grass, 26 acres of food plots and pollinator/monarch mix (brood rearing cover). I have seen some critters move in but I trap and do alot of predator control.

Who's going to Kansas City for pheasant fest? I wil be there all 3 days, pheasant stuff and a few cold ones, could there be anything better?

Should I "mow it down" ? I will for sure next year! I left almost 2.5 miles not mowed this past season and wow the garbage in the ditch(mainly beer cans) was unbelievable! I also did a little experiment with some trail cams from one side of the road to the other. The side I didn't mow I had 487...

I am looking for some info on getting started in quail hunting. Chokes used gauge, shot sizes and just a good starting point on where to go. The only quail I have ever shot was over my labs while doing some bird work. Any help appreciated, thanx in advanced.
