got out in time to hunt thur afternoon thru sunday at dark. good weather, not much snow, it was a lot of fun. bird #'s were spotty, but generally there were birds...they may have been bunched up a few weeks ago, but may have scattered a bit since. Worked hard to get daily limits. joined a fairly big group on sunday, haven't seen bird #'s like that for a few years...hunted some BIG fields, food plots, slough's, etc...hundreds of birds in the second spot...i ran out of shells, walked back to my truck about 3/8 a mile away, returned, birds still flushing intermittently...chose to watch and not rejoin the gang...my 1.5 year old female lab got a lot of great experience this trip...pointing great, retrieving great, LOTS of prey drive...what fun! Not much winter yet where i hunt, hope that bodes well for this spring, allowing the hens to enter nesting in good shape. We will hope!
