I heard several theories, the one I heard the most was. They started out dry early then got a flood right about prime nesting time. I also heard hail. But I hunted pretty close to the whole eastern side of Montana and the numbers were down . Hail doesn’t hit the whole eastern side. Habitat...

Montana bird numbers were down in my opinion, this was my 6th year hunting eastern mt and it was the fewest birds I’ve seen. There are still a few but not like some other years.

Quite a bit of standing corn in Eastern Mt too. Overall bird numbers were down a lot in my experience. Especially sharps and Huns. But Huns last year in Mt were unbelievable.

I don’t deer hunt near as much. Not ready to give it up but most days I’d rather be out walking up birds with a dog than sitting.

Ive hunted in December, never had an issue with deer hunters. The roosters are pretty battle tested by then though.

I’m in western Ok, things look good here as of mid July. Looks like we’re about to get hot and dry here. But it’s been a great spring and summer so far. Im seeing and hearing lots of birds.

Great stuff. My things that worked. I got a go pro 11. I came back from the hunt I took it on wondering why I didn’t use it every time I got out of the truck.

Best since 2016, hasn’t been as good as 2016 was where I’m at. But it hasn’t been bad.

Bobs are bobs, I’ve hunted Nebraska, and Kansas. Brush and weeds. If it looks birdy hunt it if you can.

Just got back from a hunt in eastern Montana. I was impressed with the number of Huns. Pheasant and sharp tail numbers seemed about the same as last year. This was my fourth year going. My first year I never saw a hun. 2nd year I finally saw a covey and got 1 bird. Last year I saw multiple...

Arc Gis explorer is a phone app install it and search wiha it’ll have the Kansas map and show your position. That said Kansas wasn’t real good the last time I went . But I found birds so not a wash.

Very true, my main gun I’ve hunted with the last year is a Beretta a300. And I’ve been shooting my dads old Franchi 48 Al. Not expensive but not clunkers and the Franchi has sentimental value. Then if it’s a long haul or quail, I’ll take my 20 gauge over under. I’ve got my eye on a few really...

I definitely take a backup. I guess if I had a really expensive gun I’d take a rainy day gun too. But even if I was just going to Kansas which isn’t a long way for me, it’d still be terrible to waste that trip if I had gun issues. I’ve actually had a gun issue on a long trip. Thumb safety on an...
