From the Heartland

[Ringneck]

Here are some pics I thought you might enjoy from Kansas. This property has been in my family since my Great Grandad owned it. I shot my first pheasant here when I was 11 years old. The field was milo then instead of grass in the CRP program as it is now. Their farmhouse was in the trees and it is no longer there. Rows of osage surround it and deer use it to mill around in as they come up out of the grass from bedding on the way to the soybeans across the road and vice versa.

Hedge Apples

   

Old homestead by the road, CRP field behind it.

   

Wide open spaces.

   

My ground blind in the trees.

Shawn,

Nice pic and a great place,

too bad you spell your name wrong.

hhahahha

Sean

[Shaun]

Neither you guys can spel. Is Shaun.

I see a project there... harvest a piece of osage, make a self bow and tell ol' stickers on his horns, "Hey you, outta the gene pool."

[Ringneck]

Guys, you are both wrong. My spelling is the "Traditional" way.     :D     I hear you on the project, Shaun. I'll see if I can get that done with Ol'stickers. And there might be enough osage for a bow or two. Have to keep Sean away from it though!

[bluegill]

Ok we can go for the (Shawn, Shaun , Sean ) trifecta.

One can cut Osage.

One can build a selfbow.

And one can kill the buck.

I will selfishly take the third position, cause I am a good sport.

Sound like a plan??

[Ringneck]

If I build the selfbow you aren't going to kill anything    .

Nice pics Shawn, now go get them next week buddy.

Shawn, that's a dandy Elk in your pic profile! What part of Kansas? My wife's Grandfather had a farm outside of Council Grove until he got sick and passed. Still has cousins living in and around there. Hunters paradise for sure! When he was alive, no out of state hunting was aloud. Just my luck. He shot some dandys with the rifle. And I have a dandy piece of osage from his farm. Good shootin this Fall, Steve

Thanks for all the nice comments. Steve, I live 70 miles west of Wichita. South Central Kansas. Kansas has some great hunting for sure. I lost my other hunting ground this year to leasing so that is why I set the trail cam out here to check it out. I was surprised to see the bucks and that much activity. We'll give it a go and see how it turns out.

[swp]

Shawn,

Are you from around Kingman? The nicest people in the world are from Kingman, KS! And that is a fact!

[Ringneck]

Pretty close. I live 30 miles west of Kingman just outside of Pratt.

Really beautiful! Happy hunting!

How many bows are in those rows of Osage, that is just plain neat....
