Open Season: Victories piling up for hunters

by Marc Foloc, August 26, 2007, South Coast Today, Your Link to South Coast Massachusetts and Beyond.

"...The National Park Service (NPS) released its Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Cape Cod National Seashore that will reinstate pheasant stocking on the popular federal hunting land for the next 17 years and allow pheasant hunting to continue indefinitely...."

Hunting Camp

A hunting lodge setup located in west Washington County, Kansas. It has a ranch style home, a 4 bedroom lodge, a 3 car garage, a shop/headquarters building, and a good mobile home. It sits on 5 acres about 1/4 mile off K-148 highway. Everything is in excellent condition. It was built for and has been used as a place for missionaries and other church workers to stay and has been used very little. Check the listing agent website, www.bottrealtyauction.com, for pictures and more information.

Missouri Ag News

Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Clay, Daviess, Gentry, Grundy, Harrison, Holt, Linn, Livingston, Nodaway, Platte, and Ray Counties in Missouri were considered flood damaged enough to qualify for Emergency Conservation Program funding. These counties may offer a variable to habitat this season. The referenced flood damage is from earlier in the year and not the current upper mid-west rains making national news. These recent rains have been far more impressive on radar than actual rainfall within our locality.

Brownfield Network, Ag News for America, Missouri getting federal help for damaged land Thursday, August 23, 2007, by Tom Steever.

Pictured below is wind damaged Missouri corn. Hard to get a good picture of corn that is laid horizontal that would tangle a combine head. If the corn goes to crop insurance it cannot be harvest albeit the best that could be harvested in this case is possibly copping for silage or cut to bale. If crop insurance is paid, the failed crop must be left as is. Could make for some interesting food plot movement patterns.

Dear John,

I had a really good time last year and it was a change for me, the land and the size of the deer. I'm sorry it took me so long to send you some pictures of last year's hunt. The turkey picture is pretty cool with the moon in the back ground.

I also sent you a picture of the deer that we see in the keys that the girls feed. This is in big pine key in the keys.

Thank you for last year and hopefully I will be going next year and will be in contact with you.

Thanks again,

Dwight

Thanks Dwight for a very unique contribution. From over here the cool picture vote is tied between the moon turkeys and the your daughter with the key deer. A very interesting deer for us to see. The first that we have seen.
