Probably like all of them. The big ole Eurasian Collared Doves live out at the cat ranch 24/7.

Is there a dove stew? You should probably make it if so.

So proud of my tracking dog Milo. She got her first squirrel ever today in the backyard and then brought it into the garage to show me.

Scared the crap out of me when I walked out and saw it.


These are all of her unassisted kills

Squirrel?
Rabbit?
Chipmunk?
Mouse?
Possum?
Pheasant?

She can do it all!

Made some grilled bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers with dove breast in the middle with most then marinated the rest in teriyaki sauce and grilled them on a skewer.

How did they turn out?  It's been quite a few years since I cooked dove, but I remember them as not the tastiest bird I ever eat.   
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

I think its delicious, you can't really taste it in the jalapeno poppers but the breasts I cooked on the skewer were great.

Absolutely, heading out Friday afternoon and off on Monday so I should get a solid 2.5 days of hunting in. Looks like the temps out at the cat ranch should be close to ideal with highs around 50.

Will be interesting to see where the birds are at (if there are any after the drought) since the last update from my dad was that the zero'd out Milo was still standing and hadn't been baled/grazed yet. Last opening weekend the highs got up into the 70's and I couldn't find a bird in the CRP to save my life, they were all in the fields still. When I came back later in the year and it was colder I could find them in the CRP again.

Our dryland Milo field was unharvested last year as well and I tried to hunt it a few times, nabbed a couple of birds but it was too large to effectively hunt with just 1 person and a dog.

Not going to this weekend.  I'm heading to Flint Oak Monday and Tuesday for some bird slayin'.  Focus for the next month or so will be on whackin' a couple of bucks.

I have never heard of this place but googled it and it looks amazing, like somewhere an elite K-State grad would go to blow off some steam.

Will you be doing a European shoot?

I’ll be out around Pratt/Great Bend area getting after them. Expectations are somewhat low since it’s been incredibly dry out there this year.

We have a European scheduled for the first day and then a field hunt the day after to clean up the birds that we miss in the European.

Need a field report.  Wild bird numbers in Barton county were surprisingly good. Saw about 25 pheasants and two coveys of quail in 5 miles of walking on Saturday.

It was pretty dismal out in Thomas County. The main area I hunt is a couple thousand acres around the cat ranch including 4 CRP fields and some weedy draws that I can usually bag 1-2 birds a day in. In 2 full days I saw 1 male genitals and maybe 4 hens.

Sunday afternoon we went to a large WIHA of CRP about 15 miles from the cat ranch and finally saw some birds (5-10) but the majority flushed far out of range, I was just happy to see any birds at that point.

I fired my gun 1 time in 2.5 days of hiking.

That’s a shame. Hopefully the rains return and that area gets a nice rebound for spring.

I'm a glutton for punishment so I'm going out thanksgiving weekend. Planning to hunt some ground around Russell area on the way out to the cat ranch. Will probably drive 1.5 hours east from the cat ranch one day to hunt some WIHA around wakeeny/plainville (according the the KDWPT there are some birds there) but will hit up some areas around the cat ranch in the morning/evening while out there.

We shot about 200 pheasants, 100 quail, and 10 chukars on Tuesday.  Pretty good day for the group.  With my portion of the haul, we are in pretty good shape for the short term.

Worked on whitetail food plots today. Best friend from HS has a nice 10 acre spot just down the road from the Paradise club outside of Lawrence.  He has a small tractor and I purchased an ancient one disc plow for it. It worked great. We planted a giant clover patch, and will do a small plot of corn and beans in the coming weeks. Next door neighbor is planting a huge alfalfa field right next to the killing ground.

We will also have a large feeder on a timer and a mineral/salt lick.

My kid and my dad will be the deer murderers. My friend and I have no desire other than to be the enablers.
