    Tod's fault

    Thanks John! How much of the cerealu grain crop has been damaged by grasshoppers? Trying to gauge whether field hunts would be an offset for the lack of slough water. Isn't most of that Cannonball Company leased land? One of the guys I used to work in Merck with was from just outside...

    Tod's fault

    Does Montana allow upland hunting in the mornings? .One reason I stopped going to SoDak, the heat was just too hard on the dogs by the time legal shooting hours arrived quite frequently. Heat and long hours in the field go a long way towards elevating CPK levels, which often puts their kidneys...

    Well, that is some dismal news for the Missourri Coteau wetlands

    Vince, the era you describe was one where the climate factors that influenced game populations were random, semi-cyclic events, which mounting evidence indicates is not the current case. What once was theoretic and criticized as conjecture and speculation has now progressed to substance. As...
