"...Was my first time in [location deleted] county...While not the biggest deer in [location deleted] it comes with a boat load of memories. Thanks again and great work John."
Thank you John for the picture and feedback. We agree it is the quality of the hunt that matters most.
Agriculture - Conservation - Hunting Linkage
Every once in a while it seems if some folks keep working at it a difference even if just a ripple on the pond does happen. It seems the picture posted to the updates some time ago of spring runoff through a Kansas wheat field has been used elsewhere to show that agriculture has much to do with water quantity. That picture shown here has come back around after something around two years.

Julie's Bird
Attached are2 pics of Julie's trophy tom from the youth season. She not only carries and shoots her own gun...she set up the decoys and can run a pot call with anyone. I am very proud of her...she has now successfully harvested whitetail, pheasant, and turkey...all before her eighth birthday...which was yesterday. We officially scored the bird last night...certified scale...26 pounds even... 9 3/4" beard...1" and 7/8" spurs. I've seen allot of turkeys on the ground...but none with such a big neck/head. Steve
Congratulations to Julie for getting done what most young ladies never try to do. A special day!
